I am a vintage omega novice. I had my father's 51 Omega automatic restored and wear it everyday it's a Workhorse. I should have stopped there. I won a Constellation Electroquartz f8192 in an online auction. Was told it was running perfectly. By the time I received it, was no longer running. I replaced the battery and it started right up. Later that day I realized how fast it was running. Almost double time. And the research I've done thus far gives me little hope for any resolution. Omega Authorized Repair/Swatch Group returned it with a "sorry can't help you, no parts available" note. But I'm coming to the realization that I am probably the proud owner of a parts watch. I've found no used movements or parts anywhere. Knowing now the full history of this watch and lack of available parts, I suspect I'm just one of a long line of owners of this watch who have posted this lament on this forum. So, is there any hope for these watches as they die?
