I'm sure that envolope takes a beating in transit.I hate hearing stories like this,these watches are'nt cheap and not all those who own them are wealthy,I sure am not!Had to raise the money by selling a bunch of other "toys" to get my beloved SMP.
Does this experience make you think about a quartz as your next watch?I've the quartz Black SMP.I don't need do anything to it other than change the date on those odd months.Very reliable in my first 6 weeks ownership.
Hope everything gets solved to your satisfaction soon...
: Hi, I have ahd a horrible experience with my
: seamaster chrono pro. Its self-winding
: mechanism failed me 3 times in one year.
: (The watch is less than 2 years old) When
: wound by hand, it kept its reserve, but the
: self-winding system did nothing unless
: shaken severely. Wearing the watch, it would
: stop and stay that way. I sent it for
: repair, it came back scratched and still not
: winding automatically....I sent it back
: again...they polished it and repaired
: it...finally....But a couple of months
: later...same problem. I sent it back, it
: came back repaire, but scrached even worse
: than the first time. I expect it to fail any
: time soon since they did not change the
: movement, but probably simple cleaned and
: oiled it (maybe they simply shot a bit of
: WD40 in it...who knows) THEY = omega service
: in Canada (Toronto). The watch was shiped in
: a paper envelope.....I couldn't beleve
: it...is this a normal method???? Anyhow, I
: don't know what to do anymore. This
: experience is turning into a nightmare. I
: car for the watch like a sound person would
: care for an omega....like for my eyes. Has
: any one had a similar experience? Any
: sugestions? I will certainly not send it
: back...its damaged enought!. Thanks...DJT.
