Hi everybody this is sameer. I am a longtime lurker and a current owner of breitling super avenger. I am looking into other brands and hence this question.
What do you guys think of Omega deville chronoscope in terms of movement , quality and asthetics.
I frequently read Roff's opinion on watches regarding movements etc and highly value them. infact I think all u guys have honest opnion.
So everybody please chime in and help me in deciding my purchase.
I am having second thoughts on spending so much money on omega
If it was a Brietling there wud be no question. :lingsrock:

Well as I specifically was mentioned, I guess I had better opine......

I think it's a very well packaged watch, slightly sportier than the rest of the range and some of the colours look great - I love the deep red.

That said, it is the 3313 co-axial movement - an in family, but not completely in house movement (it's based on a Piguet movement) and there are the persistent stories of problems with the movement based on a design flaw.

It was discussed at length here - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10270.

The watch may also be slightly small for current tastes at 41mm, though that wouldn't be a problem for me.

Personally, I don't like the styling.
