Q) for movement experts....

hum... following on from posts further down.. After taking a closeup photo of my Omega GMT 'Bond' Co-Axial. I find that the movement moniker on the base plate is not 2628A, but rather 26284. I wonder at the significance of this, considering the earlier debate about the AT movement..

Pic follows - some editing in photoshop to add contrast and sharpen the original (also the colour is a bit off, but the number shows up well):



I am most interested in any comments / suggestions as to significance of the final '4' since the main movement caliber is 2628.

Answer:
yeah, i think it actually is an A...cus the way im seeing it, the "4" is way too crooked...it looks more of an A that wasn't completely stamped
Answer:
Assuming it's an 'A', which is what I thought by sight initially, what your opinion on the movement? As it's new (2628), do you know if this corresponds to the latest release of specification of co-axial ie the 'C' release of the AT co-axial as you described most eloquently earlier on this forum?

Answer:
If you have a camcorder and some patience, you could film the second hand moving, play it back slow-mo, and count how many jumps per second it makes. Maybe I've got too much time on my hands, or just procrastinating over other things I need to do, but I just did this with my AT. The newer version has 25200 beats per hour, as opposed to 28800, so the second hand jumps 7 times per second with the newer version, instead of 8. Mine does 7 jumps.
