Re: Speedmaster Broad Arrow - Dials not working!

When I initially received it, I brought it to a watch dealer in my area. This is originally what I based my confidence on. I can take photos of for your review but may take it to the offical local dealer as that is quicker and will address my concerns quicker... The buttons do effect the dials - just not properly. Do you know if this is an indication of a counterfit v. a broken Omega?

: So what. If you bought a bum product, you are
: still screwed for the money you spent.
: That's why it is dangerous to buy on eBay.

: Oh? Based on what. Can you post a photo? We can
: help make sure it is the real thing.

: There is nothing to understand first. It is
: clearly broken. It will require a repair
: person to directly examine the watch to
: determine the actual problem.

: Your only real choices are to try to get all or
: part of your money back from the seller *or*
: go ahead and send it in to OMEGA to have
: them determine the problem and repair cost.
