Re: Seamaster Ti Chronograph Chronometer questions

Hi there, congrats on your new purchase.

I too have a Ti SMP Chrono (same model, 2298.80) and answer to your questions:

1. Cant really help you there but I do know that the Ti is little bit more scratch resistant than the S/S and also that the Ti has a brushed finish, this makes it harder to notice compare to the mirror finish on the S/S.

2. Might wanna get it check out at a authorized omega service centre on the lume. www.omega.ch have a list of distributor around the world, give your local distributor a call to find out where and who. Mine showed the same brightness on all lumes dots and hands (Then again mine is 5 months old, bought new from Auth. dealer). To check how old is the watch, send an email to Omega (product@omega.ch) with the serial number. I did mine in Oct last year and received a reply a week later, with watch details, the date it was manufactured and the country it was shipped to.

3. Mine is solid too, no hole(s) on the diver ext part. My Ti SMP chrono is fairly new from the maker, manufactured and shipped in July 02.

Hope this help and if your want Pic(s) of my watch to compare, shoot me an email.

Cheers
Ron
