you wrote.... It sounds like you have one of these...
Hi Sl.
If so, this uses the 1141 movement. Omega have sold a LOT of these watches & movements ( the watch is available in various different colours ranging from red, yellow, blue, plain black & various two-tone models in silver/gold etc etc )
From what you describe the movement is NOT behaving normally. ( As John Rochowicz said )
I would expect a power reserve of around 40 hours. I'm not sure where you have had it repaired ( I think you said Omega, but that could be your local dealer, or Omega HQ in the USA, or Omega in Switzerland ), but it doesn't sound like they've done a good job on fixing your problem.
If you have receipts for your work & it wasn't too long ago, why not write to Omega in Switzerland, describing your problem & ask them what they suggest.
I'd try to word it in a positive but firm manner & not get aggressive or insulting. ( but, reading your posts, I'm sure you wouldn't get aggressive :-) )
IMHO paying for the "same repair" 3 times is NOT ok.
I hear lots of good things about Omega Switzerland, they may be able to help you. I would for example ask for a free check & if needed free repair. They may suggest sending the watch to Switzerland, if so, don't be worried /scared. A few of , here have done that. We can give you some tips/hints on how to do this . It takes a bit longer but is worth the wait.
Whatever you do/decide/try, please let us know.
All the Best
Steve
