are they the same or is there a difference between a co-axial and a chronometer both are the same price... have always liked the orange !
Any one prefer any other omegas roundabout the same price tag? Already have the seamaster.

TAA !!

Ones 42.5 and the other has the bigger diameter 45

ahhh so co-axial is the same as chronometer then !

Yup, same watch just different case size. With the new model now out you may be able to get a decent deal if you're thinking of buying new.

Some jewellers really know how to describe their stock sooo well

Co-axial refers to a particular part of the movement unique to Omega automatics, Chronometer means that it has been tested and running to COSC standards, i.e. it's pretty accurate for an auto.

Now I may be wrong here but I didn't think that these models were tested to COSC standards so calling them Chronometers isn't quite the truth.... ETA that I'm talking bks there, see last post....

The two you've posted are the older models, but IMO that doesn't necessarily make them any less desirable. Here's the new one, as you can see it's a little more expensive...

http://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/mens/omega/watches/n...

The new model has a ceramic bezel (harder to scratch/mark), an upgraded movement (which doesn't mean that the older ones are any less accurate if they've been regulated well) and a display case so you can see the movement inside.

For the best deal try Dom H here http://www.hackettwatches.com/ , a well known and trusted chap who's helped source many watches for PH members here. He should be able to help with part-ex'ing as well, though you'll most probably get more selling privately.

thanks for having the time to reply, it's a bloody mine field out there !

Yeesh, I must be tired....!

The watches posted in the OP ARE Chronometers, it even says so on the feckin face.

Lord only knows what I was thinking....
