I don't know what a co-axial movement is and how this may add to the watch complexity...is there any link on this thread where i can leanr the basics about it? (used the search unsuccesfully)

GLAD YOU ASKED

this site does a good job of explaining it:

here's some pics:

traditional escapement:

here's a forum topic with an image of a traditional escapement found in many movements

the gist of it is that co-axial is setup to have reduced friction - with reduced friction means less oil and supposedly less oil means reduced service intervals. *shrugg* so they say. Omega backs up what they say by offerring a 3 year warranty instead of the standard 2 year warranty on their co-axials. Slower beat rate, but you pay for a better movement *supposedly* the TZ post states otherwise

now, if they rep the new seamaster with co-ax... you think an asian movement with less BPH would accurately portray this watch more? maybe a little bit more whirly with the rotor though
