Re: That is incorrect...
In Response To: That is incorrect... ()

I'm curious to hear what readers' answers to this question are: With regard to a COSC certified watch, at what +/- would YOU, reader, seriously consider having it adjusted?

: All of the current-style automatic Seamaster
: Professional Divers made in the past decade
: used either the 1109 or 1120 automatic
: movements which were COSC certified.

: If it says CHRONOMETER on the dial, it is COSC
: certified. If it does not say this, then it
: is the quartz version.

: The only exceptions are an *extremely* small
: number of non-COSC automatic SMPs delivered
: to Italy around 1995. These were autos, but
: used the Omega 1108 movement and the dial
: lacked the 'CHRONOMETER' designation.
