Re: Omega watch accuracy
In Response To: Omega watch accuracy ()

OK, not to be anal BUT if you spend over a grand for a watch it should be accurate within specs. I've had my SMP for 10 days and it still runs about 12 seconds fast. I haven't worn it yet (waiting for extra links) but I do change the position frequently.

BTW from what I understand the movements are tested before assembly into the watch.

I guess I'll ask the dealer (if they have one) for an exchange while I still can.

Thanks for the discussion - lots of opinions...John

: Guys I don't understand all your accuracy
: issues about "Break in Period"?
: These watches after the movement has been
: assembled goes and pasts a supposedly

: it not be accurate as specified right out of
: the box? (-4 / +6 sec a day)

: None of your discussions make sense about any
: "break in period" because than the
: watch would of never have passed the COSC?
: or what are we suppose to resend our watches
: to do this test?
