Re: Derek... Some comments and questions for you.

: Well, after much debate and decision making, I
: finally bought the Omega Seamaster
: Professional Chronograph I was looking at.

Congratulations!

: Is it true that I can order a copy of the

: watch? If so, do you know who I contact?
: What about cost?

That info is covered in the zOwie 'Omega Extras' FAQ on this site. Here is the direct link:

: chronograph function, is this o.k., or did I
: over-wind it?

You CAN'T overwind it. All modern automatic watches have overwind protection -- that's how they keep it from overwinding itself.

: Someone at another Omega dealer told me set the
: date with the hour hand between 2-8 only.
: Can you explain what he is talking about? He

Yes, that does have to do with the date change. Changing the date close to the time the date would automatically change may push the date change gear out of alignment. While it usually does not break anything -- it can. More often, it simply alters the exact time that the date changes -- usually FURTHER from midnight.

Cheers!
