I didn't say they're harder to work on. I said you have far fewer choices. This is based on Omega forums I've read where owners have had trouble finding watchmakers that have experience servicing them outside of Omega service centers. But it makes sense. In the big scheme of things, there aren't many co-axial movements out there compared to more conventional movements (which the vast majority of watchmakers are familiar and experienced with). BTW, I've heard the last Omega co-axial movements dictate a thicker case, due to the construction of the movement. Is this true? It doesn't seem to me that that it would necessarily be a prerequisite, but then I heard (from a friend who is very fond of older Omegas and not a fan of the latest ones) that the nature of the movement dictates more room. Any truth to that?
