Your Omega is older than you think

I recently purchased two new Omegas, and a third in March of this year. Some time ago I purchased another watch preowned.

Here are their serial numbers, calibre, model and purchase dates.

1) 80,088,xxx <|-- calibre 2500C Deville Date (bought new from AD March 2007)
2) 80,100,xxx <|-- calibre 1128 Seamaster GMT (bought new from AD September 2007)
3) 80,119,xxx <|-- calibre 1164 ChronoDiver (bought preowned from AD May 2005)
4) 81,045,xxx |>-- calibre 2628 Deville GMT (bought new online September 2007)

[FONT=Arial]I sent a request to Omega for chronometer certifcates on all these watches. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Omega tells me all of the watches except the last are too old to get a chronometer certificate. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]The new serial number table in "Omega -- A Journey Through Time" states than 80 million numbers were first used in 2006. We have found through the WUS Omega serial number database that was very doubtful. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I am still shocked that two watches I purchased new at an AD [SIZE=3]this year[/SIZE] are too old to have the chronometer certificate still obtainable. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I you want a chronometer certificate, don't wait around![/FONT]
