Re: Omega watch accuracy
In Response To: Omega watch accuracy ()

Fair point Michael, but I think what is meant is that some watches sit unused in jewellers shops for some time.

In my case, my 30th aniversary Speedmaster, which is NOT COSC certified, was manufactured in 1999 and I purchased it in 2001. It definately benefited from a few days of use and is currently 6 seconds fast over the past 7 days.

Should be certified really......

: Guys I don't understand all your accuracy
: issues about "Break in Period"?
: These watches after the movement has been
: assembled goes and pasts a supposedly
: rigorous COSC certification. So why should
: it not be accurate as specified right out of
: the box? (-4 / +6 sec a day)

: None of your discussions make sense about any
: "break in period" because than the
: watch would of never have passed the COSC?
: or what are we suppose to resend our watches
: to do this test?
