Re: maybe, but....
In Response To: maybe, but.... ()

Sorry that my early message caused a major misunderstanding. My watch was 20 to 30 seconds faster than regular time EACH DAY. Isn't that horrible. I'd like to know how much time is it so call kick in time? Also, is there something that I should do and I didn't do that caused the problem. I believe the Omega technician did adjust my watch because 20 to 30 seconds faster than regular time is way too much they wouldn't miss the problem. Anyway I do appreciate all the replies and I would appreciate whoever can give me a tips on how to take care the watch because this is a gift from my son. I like it and want to keep it for a long time.

Thanks,
Michael

: I'm not sure. He says that before the repair it
: was off 20 to 30 per day.

: Then he says a week after Omega returned the
: watch, it was still off by 20 to 30 seconds.
: He did not say whether that was per day, or
: over the course of the week.

: If it is per day, it sounds like no one worked
: on the watch at all. If it is over the
: course of the entire week, he is within COSC
: specs.
