Vintage watches are frequently more fragile than modern ones. If he is wearing this vintage watch much of the time and not giving it extra care, *he* may unknowingly be breaking it over and over.

Older mechanical watches are best used for normal wear -- but not while doing heavy chores, playing golf, or other things that may harm a delicate watch. Also, never consider a vintage watch to still be waterproof. Keep them away from water!

If accidental abuse is not the problem, then you may want to send the watch to OMEGA USA for repair. Their address info is on the zOwie Links page. Click on the Links item on the black menu bar at the top of this page.

Good luck!
