i bought an omega seamaster 300m diver chronograph (james bond series) in early may 2008. at first i was very happy with it because it's an Omega with all the perfection that comes with it.
but after 1 month of careful use (as it is part of my watch collection) the bracelet link at the watchcase lugs starts to show a gradual increase of gap tolerance and that section has some freeplay. i took it back to the watch shop where my omega is bought from. I compared with other oemaga of the same series to see if this matter/problem is normal in other seamaster watches. i've found that other seamaster does not have that problem. so it's comfirmed that this is a manufacturer's defect.
i had worked as an design engineer in a research and development dept of JVC malaysia. i'm knowledgable about mechanical/ohysical tolerances in a product which is intended or not intended to be.
i strongly believe such gap tolerance shouldn't be present in watches of swiss-made standards besides comparison has been made to other seamaster watches as well.
so right now i'm very disappointed with the quality of omega. i had wrote to omega representative in malaysia regarding this matter and still waiting for reply. i wish to make a warrantee claim and have this defective watch replaced. i regard this as a market claim.
