Re: Should be a show "ADs say the darndest things"

If you read reports from COSC regards the co-ax escapement, they have clearly stated co-ax is no more accurate than a conventional 2 pronged fork escapements in the same movement type. The only real benefit of co-ax is the supposed long interval times between required services...However, the jury is even out on this until 10 years pass and we have the real life experience of these watch types to qualify this so called benefit.
