Re: Seamaster 300m Chrono Automatic running fast. This shoul

not be a major problem, at best very minor. Why do watches begin to run faster or slower than normal? Who knows. Save yourself some time and visit the Omega dealer where you purchased the watch and let his watchmaker adjust it. First thing any competent watchmaker does is to de-magnetize the watch. It's surprising how little magnetic force in a watch can throw it off. Takes 5 seconds, Then he can remove the back and places it on his timer and checks it in the various positions, same as the factory. From the readings of the timer and the positions he can then adjust + or -. Again simple and fast. I have watched my watchmaker while he performs all this, and explains exactly what each position readout is giving. Go with his opinion on the adjustments. Your watch maker would tell you if there was something major that would require sending it to Omega particularly as it is under warranty.
