3120 beat rate
For those with APs equipped with the venerable 3120 (which I'm considering)....I read that it beats at 21,600 bph. If you're on this forum, I presume you have at least one Rolex with a 3135 that's clicking away at 28,800 bph.

This Omega, however, is something different altogether. Over the past three days of wearing the watch, I cannot discern that it has lost or gained a second. This “slow-beat” 3.5 hertz movement has impressed me. I had—and still have—my doubts about the co-axial hoopla. It seems overly complicated. For example: If the co-axial movement is
