OK, the Omegas are growing on me...
It has always been a cherished brand for me, perhaps because my father and mother always wore Omegas (still do), but there were always some design aspects that kept me from buying. Until now, I think...So I visited the Omega Boutique on during lunch today. I already talked about my favorable impressions of the Speedmaster 9300 on a separate thread. I've always had a week spot for the Ploproof but quite never had the guts to pull the trigger, but then today I thought I'd give the Planet Ocean 8500 42mm another look.

315 movement
I have just picked up a 2008 PP 5146g with the 315 movement. It has just been serviced and I've only had it a 4 days but it appears to be keeping good time.Reading comments online it is said the 315 caliber is not as accurate. Has anyone had any experience of this? Will it be a problem?
