Thanks Chuck, I did get .....

....this BA for an absolute steal due to the problems it was exhibiting. Other than the chrono problems it is in great condition and seems to have been worn very little. I have read Shaun T's posts and yep .. thems the problems. I did have a very nice conversation with Omega service in Bienne today and they actually acknowledged that there have been problems with this movement from the earlier years of production and I should send it to them for inspection. To be honest, even if I pay for a service / restoration where they replace internal parts if required, at CHF420 I am still getting a cracking deal. I suppose I was just seeing if there was any leverage I could use to reduce my outlay any. I am happy to spend the money to bring the watch back to working condition, but, the folding stuff don't come free and I don't want to give it away if I don't need to.
Thanks for your insights and advice.
