Re: Old stock Seamaster
In Response To: Old stock Seamaster ()

: I just got a response from Omega on the new
: Seamaster 2296.80, I purchased last fall.
: Turns out my watch was built in 1997. Is it
: odd to have a watch sit in inventory from
: 1997 to 2003? The watch was sold to me by an
: authorized dealer as new, and it looked it.
: Anyone else run into this??? Kurt

I've bought a black GMT this Chrismas, it's serial number beginning with 6044, and OMEGA says that it was made in october 2001.

Do the two years on the shelf count in the five year service interval? Oils should oxidize, regardless of the watch running or not, or am I wrong?
