·Hello. I read yesterday an article in Hodinkee, written by Jack Forster, where he wrote:
"According to Omega, the original components will include bridges, mainplates, escapements, and as well, bimetallic temperature-compensating balances with their matching blued steel overcoil balance springs. These vintage era components will be joined by some modern components as well, in the interests of better reliability and precision performance, including a modern mainspring barrel and mainspring, some of the screws, and as well, the ruby chatons and pallet stones."
My question is: will this watch be considered a "franken" pocket watch?
