Is my Omega PO trying to tell me something?

[iMungo]

After I took it off last night I went to put my PO on this morning and it was running 5 hrs slow. I noticed that thesecond hand was stopping every 4 seconds for 1 or 2 seconds then moving on again. I gave it a quick wind but it hasn't made any difference. I fear it needs to go to Omega for an inspection (£££...) Anyone else had something similar? Its a co-axil if that makes any difference. I don't beleive I have knocked it or dropped it recently or at all for that matter.

It sounds as though your watch is a fake and the skipping is a 'battery low' indicator ...






Just jesting, but it does sound as though the movement needs to be looked at. I'd either send it back to Omega or find an independent specialist to service the watch. I can't recommend anyone personally, but there are a lot of others here who use independent specialists and will be able to recommend someone ...

Mine did that, I took it off and went on holiday for two weeks, when I got back it kept running slow, not keeping time. It was just under two years old so I got it serviced for free, it should have been £250. That was about 2 years ago and its been fine ever since.

Ha! If only it needed a new battery ;-)

I think you're right, only Omega will be able to tell me. I hope their service prices haven't gone up in line with their watch straps. 2 years ago they wanted £200 for a speedmaster braclet now they want £500...
