Aren't the Omega co-axials meant to have a 10 year service interval?
My understanding is the service horizon is 4 to 6 years. It is starting to drop a few minutes each day now, and it is almost 6 years old.

Also don't mistake a watch that appears to run well and a very long time as being a quality mvmt. A Seiko 7s26 mvmt can be bought for around $60 and it will run forever without service and take all kinds of abuse and be pretty accurate. But that doesn't make it a high quality mvmt. The watch has very loose tolerances and the parts are all pressed out with amazing consistancy and that's why it is the way it is.
Contradiction alert!
I think I know the point that you're trying to make: that a "quality" movement is made with more jewels and nicer machined parts, etc. but there are many (myself included) who would argue that running forever without service, taking all kinds of abuse and remaining accurate add up to a quality movement.

200 to 495 isn;t bad...just think if you had a high maintenance woman....
now think of the money you;re saving....
What if your high maintenance woman had a high maintenance watch? What time is it anyway?
Hard to tell because she, and the watch, are gone!

Lest there be any mistake, my "contradiction alert" was meant to address "...has very loose tolerances and the parts are all pressed out with amazing consistancy".
Amazing consistency translates to very tight tolerances, in my book.
