latest update!!!

I spoke with the manager, which made a big difference. He saw how flustered I was. I asked for the watch back, he asked why, I proceeded to tell him that the Omega service center in New York said this model was made specifically for the U.S., and speaking with experts from an omega forum, and seeing the same model watch on UK Yahoo, that he was lying. The Manager said that what he meant to say was that Omega alots a certain amount of watches for the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, ect...,basically each country. He saw that I was very unhappy and asked what I wanted. I said all I want is a New Watch that works, not refurbished, but new. I told him that the watch had been acting this way since I brought it home, he checked his inventory for this specific model, 2255.80, and found that he had none left, I asked if he could order one, he said he would call me in the morning with how long it would take to ship. This is were I stand now, he seems sincere. I just hope everything works out. If it takes to long, I may opt for another seamaster, maybe with a black face, since he as quite a few of those, even if it is not my first choice, at least it will work, or I might pay the extra amount and buy a titanium body and bracelet, but I am not to thrilled with the titanium finish. What are your thoughts? Any comments about the titanium Seamaster Pro? I will post a time frame after I speak with him in the morning. The managers name is Ron, and he seems very nice.
