: Thanks so much for the response. I just got
: back in town. I can't think of anything I've
: done differently over the past several weeks
: involving electromagnetics. I am a dentist
: and do work with my hands all day as well as
: some minor labwork, so it is possible.

A dentist does typically have some high power tools....

: problem is that I bought it on vacation in
: St Thomas, USVI at a reputable shop. But,
: there is no authorized Omega store in my
: town. Can I send it to any shop with the
: warranty card that came with the watch?

Magnetism is *not* covered under warranty. It is not a defect in the watch, but something that you would have--however unwillingly or unknowingly--exposed your watch to. So you will have to pay for the fix. Though is should be pretty cheap.

Plus, no other watch dealer is going to honor an OMEGA warranty. They have to be an OMEGA authorized repair facility to be able to bill the warranty work back to the OMEGA factory.
