Both are TAGs:
The left one is the Professional bought in 1994
The right one is an automatic bought in 2000

I lost my first moonwatch in a house break-in way back in 1984.
I swear I'll get back one if budget permits.
Now I consider this as a reunion and it meant so much to me!!

Yes, enjoying every minute of it.
As I timed it with the local TV news time as well as my TAG quartz, the variation is less than a second a day.

Omega co-axial is a good movement. Long term accuracy is very good. It's very stable. I didn't rate it as great becoz my personal experience has been rather disappointing. My Bond SMP has a co-axial 2500C which is great in term of accuracy stability but reliability was a bit of an issue. Mine has intermittent issue during warranty period and finally stop running just after 3 yrs. Send it back to Swatch for repair and cost me almost 1k. But then again 2500 is first generation co-axial unlike the current 8500. They could hv improved and fine tuned it a lot by now.

For the Speedy, personally, I would love to get the original with the hesalite front and cal 1861. Staying true to the moonwatch DNA.
