Re: About mech. watches and precision
In Response To: About mech. watches and precision ()

: Mine is about +10 seconds a day. Well, it's mechanical, after all. Taking
: into account that it has to be wound every day, why not adjust it when
: necessary? If precision is paramount, it's better to buy quartz.

: Anyway, you can contact your shop to get the watch regulated by Omega.
: Omega's service seems to be first quality all over the world.

: Best regards.

My Seamaster Chrono that is less than a month old is -5 sec. per day which does not bother me. When I get it checked at one year I may have it regulated. My $65.00 Swiss Army Watch is much more accurate due to the quartz movement, but does not have the "feel" of an Omega Automatic.
