In Response To: This Debate Is Getting Old... ()

Do you honestely think that eta is playing in the same ground as lemania or piguet in terms of quality of movements?I don't think so
I proved to people that the 4130 was better than the 33xx and the el primero combined but you didn't red my replies well it seems.
Here I enclosed the link I posted in a reply to you on WUS but which perhaps you never really paid to. I explained in older threads why the 4130 is the best in terms of chronographs not only to you but to a certain person called mjb who also believed that the 33xx never knew problems.
That 4130 movement didn't know three versions unlike the coaxial and it was perfect out of the box. Already the 4130 is a reference, you also forget to precise than the 2500 is a way thinner movement than the 3135 and that the 4130 is the largest chrono movement that was built to this day. I give Rolex the benefit of the doubt for that reason, the fact that they stopped the small problems which appeared on the 4130 from a definitive manner. Rolex didn't manage things like Omega did when they had a movement problem.
Yet there is debate about these so called 10 years of servical intervals because in the Omega user manual, they suggest to service the watch every 5 years. The fact is also that Omega doesn't modify themselves is also something that makes me sad.
We will never agree on this subject but it is expected.
