Any Omega? It's a no-brainer. Omega makes a rattrapante, a tourbillion, coaxial movements......I'm not aware that Cartier makes anything but nice jewelry with standard eta movements (I could be wrong about that, but I'm not aware).Originally Posted by ChicagoRon
No you're absolutely right. When it comes to horlogerie, Omega is far better than Cartier. They also use ETA movements, but I believe they are built following rigorous instructionds given by Omega.
However, I like Eterna watches best. I own a vintage Eterna-matic 1000, and I'm slowly refurbishing it. I was able to order the original buckle in Switzerland (for free) and I'm having a custom made lizard strap cut in the same way the original strap was. I'm only heving a little trouble finding a genuine Eterna crystal, but then I don't know if all Eterna crystals were signed or not...
I'm also saving for an Orient Diver, and a Timex Ironman Dual Tech for the gym.
