I have always felt like I should have an Omega or two in my collection, but never really been sure of which one. The co-axial movement is an interesting concept and George Daniels (the inventor) is a very interesting man.

I have just never found a piece that 'speaks' to me like so many other watches.

I really like the Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT, but the opinions of others on this forum regarding the problems with the coaxial chrono movement have dissuaded me from getting one.

I still also am considering an Aqua Terra...a very nice watch at a decent price.

As I've stated before many times :wink: I've always liked the Broad Arrow GMT as well Mofongo and thus have read with interest the comments of others on the forum regarding the movement. I have a good friend that has one however and the only problem he's ever had is with a button casing that fell off which Omega replaced without any difficulty.

With anything mechanical there are always some that don't work as well as planned, I'd still consider acquiring one even with all I've heard. Beautiful watches!
