    Hi Friends,

    I am from India and I have recently bought a Omega Seamaster Plaent Ocean Chronometer. However, as I'm very new to Omega watch, I have few questions, which I would like to ask, and I would really apperciate if anyone answers the questions.

    Q1. What is the function of the Right hand side sub-dial where on the circles marks only 10-20-30? I have seen that moves with every hour, however I didn't find any correlation of it's location with the currnt time. Also is there any way to adjust the hand on that sub dial?

    Q2. Hows does the Helium button "He" work?

    I would be eagerly waiting for any experienced Omega user's reply.

    Thanks.

    Anirban :)

    By any chance, did you get an owner's manual with the watch?

    Did you pay much for it? A real Planet Ocean Chronograph is a $3000++ watch

    That's about $100 USD, yea it should have cost about 200,000 IRN. I would recommend you return the watch and get your money back

    So, you are saying there is no way to fix that sub -dial, and do you think I will get any support from the service center. If not then I think I should return the same. Thanks for your valuable time and advice. However, if you have any tips to figure which one is original and which one is fake, please share it with me, so that this doesn't happen to me again.
