Old picture, on this legend for the week.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but if your number one priority when buying a mechanical watch is "accuracy", you're buying it for the wrong reason.

Especially when the title of "most accurate" is awarded by a voluntary entry competition that most manufactures don't even bother to enter - only 19 participants out of ALL the watchmakers in the world entered in Tissot's category - "business" - classic.

Buying the "most accurate" mechanical watch as per COSC is (to reuse your analogy) like buying the "fastest" horse drawn buggy in a 5 buggy race at your state fair. It's an exercise in pointlessness.

You buy a horse drawn buggy as opposed to a Ford Focus not because you're interested in speed as determined by fundamentally flawed competitions, but because you're interested in the view you get when you slow down, and the horse drawn buggy experience.

You buy, or at least should buy, a mechanical watch for a host of other reasons that should be at least as important as accuracy - respect for the tradition of mechanical watches, a fascination with mechanical objects that are relatively accurate despite everything you know about physics saying that they shouldn't, a respect for the watchmakers' skill, the successful marriage of art to craft when a movement is finely finished, etc.

go for the speedy pro moonwatch (manual wind and hesalite version is the best) and don't look back :)your price range puts you nicely into pre owned category for the omega...
