: First,shortly after purchasing,I noticed the
: bezel's triangle did not line up at the
: face's 12 o'clock red dot (as well as many
: other places). I asked the store about it
: and they replaced it. The second one is
: still off, but not as much. Does anyone else
: notice this?
Mine looks fine to me, but I've read about this on zOwie before. I suspect it's just a matter of perception. Remember, you've spent a lot of money on that watch, and you're scrutinizing it in minute detail.
: And second, (and more importantly)at what time
: is the date supposed to change? On all of my
: other watches the date changes at
: approximately 12 o'clock, on my new SMPC the
: number does not flip in until roughly 12:40.
: Is this correct or is there a calibration
: problem.
It's not correct, but it's very common. From what I've read, very few SMPs change date bang-on 12 right out of the box. Mine changes at between six and five minutes BEFORE midnight. One cause is that the date change gear itself is out of alignment (changing the date yourself between 10pm and 2am can exacerbate this); another is that the hands are not placed correctly on the movement. Apparently this is very easily fixed -- my SMP is currently with Omega having this done.
: also the clasp won't stay
: closed...pins stay stuck in and don't pop
: back out).
That definitely needs attention. Take it back to your dealer.
HTH,
Glenn.
