In Response To: Re: New constellation model? ()

Thanks for the reply, I wear my 24/7 (except in the shower). I have only had it for 1 month now. but I check it every week with the USNO atomic clock. It has been exactly -13 secs every week. My old Omega DeVille (circa 1970) was -5Mins/week slow. I figured after 34 years of constant, It was time to retire it. You cannot find a better watch then Omega anywhere.
