OMEGA CH Service Review Update
In Response To: OMEGA CH Service Review (long) ()

In fairness to OMEGA CH, I want to update the above psot to relate that I received an e-mail response from OMEGA CH, evidencing that they did in fact try to contact me, as I requested, by e-mail on two occasions to inform me that my watch had been shipped back, but the e-mails bounced apparently due to typographical errors they made in my e-mail address.

As for initial review of the repairs, after I corrected my own stupidity of setting my watch exactly 5 minutes slow and not realizing it for a couple of hours (duh!), and it being off my wrist for around 6 or 7 hours face up, it has gained +4 seconds. They tend to slow as they "run in," so depending on how it does for the next 12 hours, and playing with the position at night, it will probably be within chronometer specs. Too early to tell.

In any event, I much prefer +4 to +6 seconds a day to 9 or more seconds slow.
