zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

: i bought an omega seamaster 300m diver chronograph (james bond
: series) in early may 2008. at first i was very happy with it
: because it's an Omega with all the perfection that comes with
: it.

: but after 1 month of careful use (as it is part of my watch
: collection) the bracelet link at the watchcase lugs starts to
: show a gradual increase of gap tolerance and that section has
: some freeplay. i took it back to the watch shop where my omega
: is bought from. I compared with other oemaga of the same series
: to see if this matter/problem is normal in other seamaster
: watches. i've found that other seamaster does not have that
: problem. so it's comfirmed that this is a manufacturer's defect.

: i had worked as an design engineer in a research and development
: dept of JVC malaysia. i'm knowledgable about mechanical/ohysical
: tolerances in a product which is intended or not intended to be.

: i strongly believe such gap tolerance shouldn't be present in
: watches of swiss-made standards besides comparison has been made
: to other seamaster watches as well.

: so right now i'm very disappointed with the quality of omega. i had
: wrote to omega representative in malaysia regarding this matter
: and still waiting for reply. i wish to make a warrantee claim
: and have this defective watch replaced. i regard this as a
: market claim.

Let us know how the Omega representative responds.
