: I think the lemon is an occasional occurance,
: it just seems more pronounced because its
: reported here and other places in search of
: a fix, rant or griipe.

: The Authorized Dealer I send referrals for will
: not send out a watch from his display case.
: It's actually more of a hassle for him. They
: come untouched from his vault, aside from
: him sizing the bracelet for a customer
: before he ships it out. He knows how
: particular we enthusiasts can be about the
: condition of a new watch, as opposed to a
: customer who wants the watch he sees in the
: display window. He tests many watches that
: come in on a watch winder to keep track of
: how they are doing in function and accuracy.
: He was especially vigilant in this with the
: caliber 33xx models that came through his
: shop. He will certainly perform that kind of
: testing if specifically asked to.

: He also has a lot of turn over, so watches (for
: the most part) are not sitting around his
: shop for a long time. Most of the cal 33xx
: models (for instance) are sure to be more
: recent manufacture because he is frequently
: restocked, avoiding early manufacture pieces
: which may have uncorrected bugs.

: I currently have 6 recent model Omega Certified
: Chronometers. None of them has been
: delivered outside of COSC spec. In fact,
: most of them are within 1 or 2 seconds.

: Any watch that is delivered with a problem or
: DOA should be returned immediately and
: exchanged. The Dealer will just send it back
: and tell Omega that they sent him a
: defective watch. A good Dealer will offer to
: do this if needed, so you aren't stuck with
: a new watch that needs to be sent off for 6
: weeks to Switzerland.

Would you be kind enough to give me a referral to you Omega Authorized Dealer?
