Re: Omega Seamaster Gaining Time
In Response To: Re: Omega Seamaster Gaining Time ()

: This post is old, and the problem undoubtedly resolved by now--for
: this particular user. But the problem of "fast
: running" Seamasters remains. I have bought two Seamasters
: in the last year--one a regular wavy-blue-dial Seamaster, and
: the other, a "007 limited edition" with a black
: lacquered dial. The first Seamaster gained 10 seconds a day. I
: took it to the Swatch Service Center in Toronto, and in 20
: minutes the Seamaster was regulated to gain less than a second
: per day. The second "James Bond" Seamaster, purchase
: only a week ago, gains 12 seconds per day. It will be similarly
: be adjusted. So, I think Seamasters leave the factory running
: fast. Omega--are you listening?

I recently bought a Seamaster and it gains 5 minutes a day! I'm waiting for a few weeks in the hope it settles down, but my Speedmaster was/is deadly accurate from new. NOT happy thus far.
