[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3823167, member: 24867"] Oh yeah, that is the plan on the for future antique watches. I have no desire to work with old radium dials and hands. Regarding the Omega movements, their new ones in the Speedmaster, Seamaster, etc. are all METAS Master Chronometer certified. This is a step above COSC. Per Google-Fu: "All Omega watches that are tested and pass the tests by METAS (The Federal Institute of Metrology) are awarded the master Chronometer Certification. The certification means that the watch has been certified twice, and has passed 8 different tests related to the quality, durability, and accuracy." Rolex does not have a single watch with a METAS certification, but I also don't think they even bother submitting them for testing. All of them are good, but from a pure mechanical timekeeping perspective, Omega is far ahead of Rolex. Resale value, good marketing, etc. Rolex is obviously beating everyone. [/QUOTE]
