Re: new Speedmaster Pro - questions

: After much agonizing, I finally bought a
: Speedmaster Professional. It took me awhile
: to decide between it and the Seamaster. Now
: I have a few questions.

: 1) Where is the serial number located? I can't
: find it.

On the back of the 7:00 lug. Very tiny laser engraved eight digit number

: 2) My watch doesn't have the small red dot on
: the back of the case. Should it have one or
: is this not used on the Speedmaster?

Some of those "rules" are inconsistant at times. I've spoken with my Authorized Dealer about this and not all the watches come with it. It's a hit and miss kind of thing. What's improtant is you have the Warranty Card with the Dealers name on it.

: 3) Is the 2 year warranty good on any new Omega
: bought after a certain date, or is it
: dependent on when the watch was actually
: built? I have no idea how long this watch
: has been in the dealer's case.
: That's all I can think of for the moment.

As of January 2002 Omega started giving a 2-Year Warranty rather than one year. The only exception to this is models with the Co-Axial Escapement, which comes with a 3-Year Warranty. The Warranty starts on the day you purchase the watch, not the day it was made. You could buy a watch that's been sitting in a Dealers display for three years, and it would still have a two year warranty.

: Thanks!

You're Welcome
