1866
Hi again.Is the cal 1866 based off the 1861? I am digging 3575.20.00. Can the moon phase dial tell the date - it looks like it does? Would you consider this to be a moon watch?Thank you.

8500 Question???
I tried a search, with no success. This may be an old question.I am reading on the new 8500/8501 movements, and the Omega in power people are saying they plan on putting this movement in all their watches, soon. Does anyone out there know much about this movement. Is it worth waiting for? The key quality, for me, was it needs very little maintenance. I have also read recently, that watch machanics are getting dangerously low. It will become difficult to get you quaility automatic serviced. jdsons (Julian)PS. I am getting most my information out of Watchtime magazine's, Omega special.
