Omega

Omega problems 2

 

Hi all,

I am still waiting for my Omega. On the 16th, April I asked the dealer what is going on in the service (the watch was sent back to Omega on the 12th, MARCH), and, after a phone-call to Switzerland, we had got the answer: they plan to finish it until the 15th, MAY. Wow, two months... enough to build a new movement, in my opinion.

Anyways, I hope I get back a perfect watch, at least with some fine Swiss chocolate for compensation.

Do you have any experience about the large service taken in every 3-5 years? Does it take so long as well?

This is to inquire about others' experience with the co-axial chronographs and Omega's service. I have two Omega watches: the Speedmaster GMT with a co-axial chronograph movement and the 1960 Rome Olympics co-axial chronograph. The Speedmaster GMT suddenl...

Purchase an omega rated as a dive watch. Rugged, water proof, good for active outdoor life and winter diving. Well I also ski and found out that if it is below 20 F the watch stops or slows way down. Normal office temps - plus of minus 2 sec/day. This is ...

Hi, sorry, but all I can add to this topic is my own complaining, but I feel obliged to do this for the information of other people who want to buy an Omega. I have bought a Seamaster 300M Chronograph six months ago. It is not co-axial, it is with an old ...

Hi all, on the 17th May I have got back my Omega Seamaster Chrono. The reason for the very-very long waiting was partly due to the AD - they kept the watch for two weeks for their own test, a somewhat simplified COSC measurement to be sure that Omega had ...

movement, a lot has been written about the problems with those series of chrono/co-axial movements, and they all scream "don't buy!". I have a 2500C in a SMAT and it's working fine, but the chronos are a different story. I've also heard that Omega service...
