: First of all, sorry for your troubles, but I
: would hardly call 10 secs/day awful
: timekeeping. Its actually barely out of
: specs. Troubling, im sure, but not awful.

: The watch should make a grinding noise when
: shaken gently. This is the automatic winding
: rotor and is noticeable audible on the SMP
: models. Its perfectly normal and it does
: sound like grinding

: I find it hard to believe Omega can't regulate
: your watch to within specs, and likely, if
: its been sent in a couple times, it was
: regulated properly and maybe your wearing
: habits do have something to do with it after
: all, as positional variance by up to 5
: secs/day is possible. Its been reported that
: the best overnight position to
: "lose" time is with the crown up.
: Try this for several nights and see what
: happens. If this doesn't work, I would email
: the aftersales dept of Omega with your
: troubles. Express your disappointment, but
: don't be an A$$ about it. You will probably
: get a better response.

: WEll, ive heard many stories of bad
: timekeeping with Rolex too, so don't look to
: them for any better accuracy. Overpriced and
: overhyped, but not more accurate

: Good luck with it

Mike,

I have a GMT Co-ax and it keeps decent time whilst being worn, but sometimes if i leave it in a certain postion it gains loads of time over night.

For example it used to be that if I left it face up over night it would gain about 10 secs.

The latest is last night i left it face down last night and it gained 25 secs!

Is this normal or is there a serious problem here.
