Firstly, hello!, this is my first post to this board.
As a present for myself I bought a Seamaster mid-size (I have thin wrists) automatic black face steel on steel. 2252.50.00. I bought this from the very impressively situated "flagship" store in Zurich, Switzerland.
The sales service was first class, but one piece of advice did surprise me. The sales assistant was showing me how to adjust the time, I told her that I regularly travel through a time zone change, at least twice per month, and just wanted to check that adjusting the time anticlockwise when travelling west was no problem. Her advice was not to do this, and to always adjust it clockwise. I pointed out this would mean a date change also, she said yes, but that is my advice.
I would be very interested to hear your opinions on whether this was just Omega being over cautious or whether an anti-clockwise time change will cause a problem.
By the way, I am very happy with the watch and I have no found out lots more about it from surfing this board and the related links. Although nothing about the anti clockwise change issue :-)
Thanks
Adrian
