·I am getting great time keeping. It's off by 2 seconds so I think I'll just enjoy the hell out of my watch. If a problem occurs, Omega will have to take care of it. Actually everyone I know who has a 2500C PO has had zero problems. But the internet can make ya squeamish and it has done that to me here and there.

·Have had a 2500C for a while as well and no issues. Been running at +1 sec after a service from Omega, very happy with that result!

·Nice choice. I too have what I believe to be a 2500C and it runs great. Have had it about five years. Looks and wears great on a rubber strap with deployant.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerTurns out the service centre who just did the overhaul have confirmed to me I have the 2500D, which is odd considering my serial number is prior to 8525xxxx. Go figure.
Can you please PM me your full serial number? Also, do you have any parts that were returned when the service was done, and if so, can you post a photo of them please?
Cheers, Al

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerHi Archer just PM'd you.
Thanks - once again the Extranet does not clarify what version the movement is, so it looks like they may not be including this information anymore because I'm running into this on a lot of checks I've been doing since they updated the site last month.
And as you noted in the PM, you did post photos of the parts in the other thread, so here it is:
The wheel that I have added the arrow pointing to is the intermediate escape wheel - even though the picture is small, I see that the shape of the teeth on it appear to look like this:
Note that one side of each tooth is more rounded than the other - these are the asymmetric teeth indicative of a 2 level co-axial escapement. The intermediate escape wheel for the 2500D looks nothing like this, so I do believe your watch has a C in it, not a D. If you want to post a closer photo of that specific wheel (looks gold coloured in this photo, again indicating an older C version wheel) then we could tell for sure.
If you are thinking they upgraded you from a C to a D, they don't offer that - I have asked.
I am 99.99% sure that the person who told you this was a D, has again misread the information on the Omega Extranet...
Cheers, Al

tiny escape wheel is hard to capture with a phone camera, so in the absence of a macro lens, here's the best shots I could get :

·The plot continues to thicken.
So everyonwe saying Omega changes C's to a D is mistaken? Where did that 'rumor' come from?

·Do the teeth look like the style in the shot I attached in person?

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerThe teeth don''t strike me as being more rounded on one side than the other at first sight. Hard to tell without a magnifying glass. I'll keep you posted.. In the meantime here's another picture taken with another camera.
Well the rounded teeth look more subtle without magnification. So this wheel you show has 20 teeth on the wheel, which matches what a 2500C intermediate escape wheel has. I know because all 20 of those teeth have to be oiled individually, as well as 10 teeth on the co-axial wheel, all done under a microscope at 50X magnification...
I can't post an image out of the tech guide here (don't want more letters from the Omega legal department thanks) but I did pull that image up and counted the number of teeth on the wheel - there are 55 teeth. There's just no way that's a D intermediate escape wheel...
Again I can only conclude this is a 2500C, no matter what they told you.
Cheers, Al

·I'm beginning to understand; the only real reason to get a D over a B or a C is to avoid threads like this.
