Re: coaxial 2500 movement

In Response To: coaxial 2500 movement ()

: i own a seamaster 2531.80 and i just purchased
: the 2220.80. i noticed that when adjusting
: the time on the 2220.80 while the crown is
: in position 3, it feels "tighter"
: than my 2531.80. any advice?

As long as the movement works the way it is advertised, then I wouldn't worry. I haven't wound any Omegas, so I don't know if I can be much help to you.

I'd think that since the watch is new, that the stiffness should settle down after a while. earlier (I mean WAY earlier) in the 2500 caliber lifespan, there were some issues about lack of lubrication on new Omegas..... But that should be fixed by now....... I hope.

If the crown is EXTREMELY tight, then you may want to have the dealer look it over for you.

Good luck.
