Re: Aqua Terra Chronograph Running Down

: Hi,

: Bought myself an Aqua Terra Chronograph about a month ago (always
: wanted an Omega & couldn't be happier with it). It was fully
: wound by the dealer & I have worn it all day every day
: since, except when showering, but this morning it stopped.
: Checking the winder showed that it was fully unwound & it
: started again no problem when wound. I should also mention that
: it's keeing good time, gaining 1.5 seconds er day consistently.

: I have an office job, so it doesn't get a lot of winding movement
: during the day, but I'm an active person out or work - for
: example in the last week running for an hour on Monday &
: rowing Saturday & Thursday for 1.5 hours each. I would have
: thought it would be getting plenty of movement to keep it wound.

: What do you think - is it normal to have to manually wind under
: that kind of wear and activity?

No-one got any thoughts on this?? I'd have thought a few of you guys must have some idea??
