Omega service problems 3

 

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 really repaired the watch second time. It was a very pleasant surprise, and I am quite glad to the AD (it is WEMPE, they deserve to be named here).

The good news that the watch has run well in the last one and a half months. On the desk it is around +2 s/day, on the wrist it is pretty fast, around +4 s/day. WEMPE actually measured +2 to +5.8 s/day depending on the position of the watch. It is definitely not the most precise movement on the world, to say the least. But it is within tolerance, and looks stable. So I am happy at the moment. Though I have got no chocolate at all...

Please, if you have service experiences with Omega, especially with the old, non-co-axial movements, do not hesitate to write.

Best regards,

George

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, 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 unt...

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...
