New Omega (AD) 3603 movement-Disappointed!
Purchased my Speedmaster Solar Impulse from an AD less than two weeks ago, and while looking at it last night was dismayed to see the minute chronograph hand (in the 30-minute dial) sticking at 28 minutes. I reset the stop watch functions twice and did the same thing. On the third time, the dial finally went past 28 and has been functioning well...so far.What gives, Omega??? Never had any problems with my hand-wound Rolex and automatic Rolex watches, although none of them are Daytonas. The Daytona is somewhat small for my wrist--which is why I went with the 44.25mm Speedmaster.My confidence in Omega is starting to dwindle. The watch will probably go to Omega for warranty work.

Here's a bit of a rare bird...Vintage Seamaster Chronometer
Just got this one back from my watchmaker after a routine overhaul. This is an all original circa 1969 Omega Seamaster Chronometer Automatic with quick set Date with the highly acclaimed cal. 564 Chronometer movement. This watch is considered fairly rare (especially in this condition) due to the fact that the cal. 564 Chronometer was typically only seen in the Omega Constellations of this era. I just love the classic size, golden dial with matching gold applied Omega logo and stick hour markers with the matching gold hands...quite the package I must say. Not only does it look good and wear very comfortably with the original omega bracelet; but it also keeps incredibly accurate time. One of my favorites in my recently slimmed down eight watch rotation.Frank

Please help! PO Chrono - real??
Hi,I am considering taking a watch (~2009 Omega Planet Ocean Chrono, pictured below) on trade, and I am scared to death of the PO fakes out there. I tried it on and it feels well made. I am a Rolex guy and have no experience with Omega so I don't know what to look for. I snapped a quick pic with my cellphone, but it's not the best quality. It will come with box, papers, etc. No steel band, just the rubber one. Anyway, the guy seems really nice and knowledgeable, but you just never know with all the fakes out there. Is the helium valve in the correct place? What about the numbers/writing?Thanks a million!Ed

Got me a new PAM 422
Hey Guys,So after going into an AD about a year and a half ago with my mind set on a complicated Pam in the form of the 270. I discovered it was discontinued and replaced with the 533. While I liked the 533. I didn't love it mainly due to the stealthed out black hands. Anyway I stumbled across the 372 and 422. The 372 while nice was far too simple for my liking. I know it's loved and adored by the paneristi and for good reason but just not for me. The 422 with running seconds and the power reserve is just perfect! I even got past the date and manual wind. Reason being the manual wind forces you to have the ritual of interacting with you timepiece which is quite lovely to experience the butter smooth winding action. Date. Well. How often do you check that and even keep it in sync :pAnyway. Got a great deal from my AD and although I missed out on tax free after trying my luck I am still over the moon with it. No buyers remorse here!Pic time....Now barring a pam689 being in a store I walk
