    My watch likes to stop working. Occasionally the watch will stop working; sometimes on my arm, sometimes in the morning it is not running. I wind it daily. I am concerned I've knocked something out of place. If I wind it from stopped it doesn't immediately start working, sometimes I have to tap the upper left lug to get it going. I'm wondering if the rotary bullet in the rear has anything to do with it.. Any thoughts as to how to get it started without tapping it I feel bad tapping the watch to jumpstart it? Does the 2507 mechanism have any known issues. I've had it for two years and have not serviced the watch, this seems to have started in February of 2015. I am the first owner of the piece.

    It needs to be inspected by a qualified watchmaker, and serviced. Is it still under warranty?

    I think I recall reading somewhere that co-axial so are covered for five years? If it were mine, I'd be on my way to the AD before the ink dries on this email! ;) Ummmmmm! You did buy this from an AD didn't you? Be certain to have your warranty with you.

    I think they carry 4 years of warranty. Take it to the Omega store as that is not normal, they will check it for you under warranty. You will be without it for a few weeks probably, but will come back looking like new and ready for a few more years of untroubled service.

    Yes, coaxials have a 4 year warranty. Take it back to the Omega Boutique and they will take care of you.

    Sad to say mine have the same problem. I wear it daily and when it stopped one day, i was surprised. The rotating rotor seens to get suck in a certain position and i have to knock the watch to get it dislodged. Subsequently, the rotor got jammed totally. I revert to manually winding my watch daily. I have not taken it in to the service centre to check. I'm guessing that the rear display glass might have been depressed inwards and somehow jammed the rotor, as i have in a few occasions sat down with my watch in my rear pants pocket. Just my guess.

    I'm selling my standard blue one to go for a used one. How is the 007 dial face, it is only in certain light you see it as it would look a little cheap if it were visible all the time?

    You're right. It's subtle viewed in certain angles.

    I believe there's a known issue with 2500 movements which can easily be corrected. Take it to an Omega service center and they will sort you out.

    You can tell its different from regular black SMPc mainly for the red 50 in the black ceramic bezel.

    The dial looks just like the regular version in some angles:

    While in others you can clearly see the monogram:
