Today i just got my 3rd Omega,Aqua Terra Chrono! it is also my 1st used watch purchase from Fleabay so it worries me a lil bit. the watch look authentic and is really beautiful , in minty condition as seller stated, but when i try to manual wind the watch ( crown position 1 winding up) i noticed that there is some kind of friction noise and resistance that i never get when i wind up my PO or SMP 2500 co-axial ( they were smoother and noiseless) . is this normal for Cal 3313 or is it something i should be worried ? would love some input from omega peeps anyway, the watch is amazing and it gives a nice contrast vs my PO and SMP. now i need to add a speedy to my collection, mebbe my other half will let my buy the dark side of the moon next year hehe
Looks ally nice. Here is my recent acquisition. Speaking of other halves -- I had to lie about the price ....am I bad ?
I had a friend when I was doing a lot of mountain biking who used to tell his wife when he upgraded something, but told her it was 1/10th the real cost. She still 'gave him the hairdryer treatment' but if she'd had any idea of the real numbers I think she would have had a stroke. TBH I think this is just saving up trouble like certain Australian members who had a secret stash of watches that if I remember correctly got turned into a new kitchen.
My 2500 aqua terra makes a nice winding sound in the 1st crown position. Nothing to worry about! I quite like the friction and sound.
