Re: I saw your post today, djt...
: ..and I got exactly the same problem with my
: Seamaster chrono pro. About three weeks ago
: I sent it to service here in Sweden for the
: second time, and I'm still waiting for it.
: They did not scratch the watch the first
: time, but they did not fix it either. This
: is what I posted in another watch forum:
: "I have an Omega SMP Chrono (7750) wich
: I bought new in Oct. 2002. The second hand
: on the chrono didn't reset properly, and in
: May the watch stoped running even when I was
: wearing it. I sent it in for service in Jun,
: and got it back thursday evning this week (
: after 10 weeks). Now the second hand was
: reseting. I wound it manually and put it on
: my wrist and listened to the rotor after
: shaking the watch: the rotor freewheeling in
: one direction, and making a
: "ratching" sound when going in the
: winding direction. Good. But when I did this
: again after about 3 hours (still wearing the
: watch) the sound in the winding direction
: was exactly like before service: I can hear
: the rotor freewheeling but when it changes
: to the winding direction it just "fall
: down" with a klucking sound. On friday
: the same sound. On saturday the same sound.
: Saturday evning, ~50h after putting the
: watch on my wrist it stoped running. The
: rotor had in fact not done any winding at
: all when I was wearing the watch! What I
: also noticed before sending it in was that
: after winding it manually, (5 twists would
: do), the ratching sound was there again, but
: only for about 2-3 hours."

And the worse is that every repair service says it is very rare that omegas have problems....I'm really starting to wonder....maybe swatch has something to do with the pore quality of service...like for all...ALL companies that are bought by greater forces....Anyhow, I guess I'll have to comunicate directly with the headquarters to put an end to this saga.....Have you resolved your watch problems??
