Re: Aqua Terra Co-Axial stop moving

: Hi all Omega die-hard fans...

: Have any one of you experienced this problem
: with Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial: it stops
: moving regularly!

: I understand that it has a 44hrs reserved, but
: my AT (bought in 31-oct-2002) can stop
: moving at the next day, while I'm still
: wearing it today. Once it stops, it is very
: difficult to get it moves again. I wind it,
: I shake it, I wear it... it would moves for
: a short period, and then stops again. It
: needs about half a-day to stabilize and move
: smoothly.

: The biggest upset is it can stop while I was
: rushing to work, or even during my meeting
: time. Imagine what my colleagues or
: customers would say when they saw a stopped
: moving Omega.

: I'm a fan of Omega, but this is causing too
: much disturbance to my daily life. I was
: once late for a meeting, all because my AT
: had stopped.

: I had wrote email to Omega, but till now no
: response from them. In fact, I'm beginning
: to lose confidence with Omega. If I would to
: get another time piece in future, most
: likely it might not be another Omega if this
: problem still persist...

: Any advises from you, are very much
: appreciated!

: Thanks,
: Aqua Terra owner...
: Singapore

In my opinion, this kind of problem is part of the FUN of wearing a mechanical watch! If you bought it from an authorized dealer you should take it back to the shop.
(You have bought a watch with many, many small parts etc etc...)
