Hi all,
I am a bit ashamed that I almost never post here, but I am busy for my internship and posting at several other watchforums. I will try to check this forum out more often.
Anyway, some weeks ago I had some problems with my Seamaster clasp. Some people (and also according to the FAQ) mentioned that it probably just was some dirt in the clasp mechanism. I cleaned it with water without result. Then I put the bracelet (and clasp) in a glass of Coke(tm) to clean it somewhat better :-). Well, the bracelet and clasp were cleaned allright, but the problem still existed. Nothing else to do than bring it to do Omega dealer in my town. I was afraid that it would cost me a new clasp or at least some other part for a lot of money. After three weeks the watchmaker called me to tell me it was 'ready' and that I could pick it up. It costed 5 Euro (at first I thought 50 Euro, but I heard it right) and it works perfect again!
Ofcourse, these things shouldn't be happening on an expensive watch. But it does, the production of these watches are still done by hand for a large part. So errors exist. Even a massproduct like Seiko has its flaws.
