Re: Where did you have it serviced?

Keith: I sent it to a US service center as you identified. This whole 3-month process has been a real headache. While the coaxial wheel was apparently defective, and several other parts were replaced, Joseph T.'s early diagnosis, hairspring has shifted/moved,was apparently correct. The watch has NEVER run accuratelyin the 8 months I have had it. That would seem to indicate the need for a new movement.

Given this protracted scenario, I seriously doubt I will ever buy an Omega again-at least an automatic. If I do, I will be sure to heed your sage advice and send it to Switz. if it ever needs warranty service.

Thanks for your concern and input. You and Zowie are the heart and soul of this outstanding discussion group. jd
