Radical watch fans drooling over Rolex and Omega have long held a heated debate over which company is a better movement maker. It would be too arrogant for anyone to settle this debate to an end, so now let me just share my personal opinion on this topic.
To the best of my knowledge, taking a look at Rolex Caliber 3135 and Omega Caliber 1120 would be the best way to make a comparison of their movements. I am really fantasized over these two calibers. The two share a lot of common in measurements of performance, with a few minor differences that set them apart.

Microstella system is adopted in the glucydur balance wheel of the 3135 to allow for adjustments in timing. The 4 screws equipped at equilateral distance points along the balance wheel can slow down the rate when they are moved away from the center, likewise, the rate will be speeded up once they are moving towards the center of the balance wheel. Compared with 3135, Omega Caliber 1120 was cast into the shade from technical aspect. The 1120, using a modified ETA and the Etachron adjustment screw, would be less accurate without any accuracy adjustment than a conservative design of adjustment screws on the balance wheel.

Rolex also has smartly incorporated a freely sprung balance into the caliber 3135, while 1120 adopts the regulated balance. Freely sprung balance is applied by most high end watch makers, and Omega is not exclusive with Caliber 2500, which is the next generation of the Caliber 1120. KIF shock protection system which shares a lot of similarities to the ETA Incabloc shock protection system inbuilt in the 1120 is adopted by Rolex to give better protection against timing mistakes from sudden movement. The two systems are almost identical, with a bit difference in design.
From all what I have said above, I believe that the OmegPlease go to -http://www.fashionshoes4u.net for additional information about different types of -fashion Prada Shoe Boxes.a 1120 does lose out to the Rolex 3135 from a theoretical design point of view.
