: Hi all
: I recently purchase a SMP Diver with the
: Chronograph on a Ti on Ti model (2298800).
: This is my first Omega and I absolutely love
: it. Bought it new from one of the authorise
: dealer in the City.
: I read somewhere on Chronocentric that having
: the Chronograph running continuously will
: not wear or damage the working of the watch
: BUT I was at the Omega watch jeweller the
: other day, having the bracelet links shorten
: (one link off) to fit my wrist and was told
: by him that try not to use the chrograph
: unless I have to. I didnt ask why then but
: now I'm just curious and confuse about it.
: The big seconds hand look useless and wasted
: without the chronograph activated.
: So please, if any, advise on whether its
: absolutely OK to have it on at all time or
: not.
: thanks
: Ronnie
The jeweler who was working on your watch is "full of it". You can leave the chronograph "on" ALL THE TIME without doing any harm to the watch. The only mechanism that will wear appreciably if used excessivly often ("repeatedly") are the start/stop and reset buttons and associated mechanisms.
If the watch did not "do" what it was designed to do, Omega would be out of business.
Enjoy,
MMC
