Connie F300 keeps stopping

Hi all,

I've got a lovely 1970s Constellation F300, which generally works well, keeps good time and looks great.

But, and it's a big but, it occasionally just stops dead. It seems to do it when subjected to shock, but really mild shock such as clapping one's hands and similar "reasonable" shocks that I would have thought anything claiming to be a wristwatch should stand up to.

Is the F300 really this sensitive or should I be taking it to a specialist? The seller told me he had recently had it serviced and had a new battery fitted, and its general condition would seem to indicate it was looked after.

Can any Omega dealer handle an F300 or should I find a tuning fork guru?
