some thaughts & a question to everyone
In Response To: Sorry to hear that. ()

Hi

Sorry to hear your troubles but such things should not happen. Did your watch receive a shock?Did you remarked it losing time or was it always stable? I have heard some of these mishappenings with some smp 300 (a watch with an eta based caliber)but I don't get how it could happen.
I have rarely heard if not never heard of such problems with vintage omegas having a full inhouse movements.
Now an open question to modern omega watches owners, have your watches fitted with an eta caliber (1120 or 1128) failed or stopped brutally a single time during the last 6 years?
thanks in advance for the replies.

regards

georges
