Iwc is based on eta 2892 mod by swatch to iwc specs
Omega is part of swatch group, co axle movement can tahan longer service intervals. Btw the 2 I take omega

U can look at ulysse nardin, zenith don't make divers, Breitling also uses eta 2892

Owned iwc and omega.

Omega pays more attention to details for its watches

Owned the Aquatimer, but given a choice, would pick up the PO if can go back in time. More versatile and no crappy proprietary lug system. The lume and accuracy of the Aquatimer was spot on but I don't see how the PO would be inferior to begin with.

See your wrist size bro....

Best is to get the 600m co-axial gmt cos the 300m gmt is based on year 1993 design

 

[jt2901]

Po retails at 8100 before discounts.

There's still a worldwide shortage due to the eta movement shortage. I preordered from gnomon and made a $50 deposit. About 3 weeks back. It's slightly more expensive than ordering from steinhart website itself but the convenience of bringing the watch straight to them if anything goes wrong is worth it.

Anw I theorized that ADs will prob get the stock earlier than the individual orders turned out to be true this time. when I preorder they told me end July so I guess I was lucky. If u really want it my advice is to preorder from gnomon. Most of their OVMs that come in are usually already spoken for so no point waiting for stocks to arrive then head down.

Yah man, thats what I decided when I got my Nav B from Gnomon. Felt that I rather not spend time to wait for the delivery, and also anything can go back and ask them to check...

Okay thats it, shall save up again to get my OVM

Add to the fact......the IWC AT don't have a Helium Release Valve but the Omega Seamaster comes with one. So if you are an avid diver, you should go with the Omega.
