Re: Omega Seamaster Gaining Time

You don't indicate if you bought a new or used Seamaster. I'll presume it's brand new. If you bought the watch from an authorized dealer, take it back for service. It should have a two (maybe 3) year warranty. If you bought it within the past 7 days or so, quite frankly I'd ask for a new watch but that's just me. If you've had it a month or so you'll have to go the warranty service route but, do take it back to the dealer for them to ship out as they'll get a quicker turnaround from the Omega Service Center (that's been my experience). On the other hand, if you bought a used watch and it is a few years old, it probably needs a COA (clean/oil/adjust service). If you bought a grey market watch or one from an unauthorized internet dealer, good luck getting it fixed at no charge.
