:
Sorry to hear of your problem. The coaxial models have a 3 year
: warranty, is it still covered? It sounds like it does need to be
: looked at by a pro. And yes, a Casio would have been more
: reliable(or any other quartz watch for that matter), or at the
: very least just throw it away and buy a new one if it breaks.
: Why did you seldon wear the watch?
: Keep in mind that your watch is mechanical and like a car or
: anything else is subject to breakdowns for a number of reasons.
: The Omega coaxial caliber in the seamaster is usually very
: reliable. Hope its nothing serious.
One thing people forget with their mechanical watches is that they NEED to be used or at least run on a winder. For a watch to set for several years with almost no wear, number one comes to mind is the OIL. It will sink and coagulate or just dry out. Running a watch with dry oil will cause wear and tear and possible breakage of a part(s). As was said, you have a fine watch but it needs professional attention. Think of your watch movement like the engine in a car.
After sitting for several years all the oil will be in the pan and gunk.
