Have some questions regarding the Speedmaster 9300

WurstEver

I own both a 9300 and a 145022. For what it's worth, having the latter has not diminished my appreciation of the former one bit. I've found the 9300 to be reliable and accurate and I love the watch as a package. I think the stainless steel 9300 as pictured above is a really successful blend of traditional look-and-feel with modern tech. With such an interesting mechanism residing inside, the inclusion of a display back is a genuinely enjoyable feature of the co-axial Speedy. The sapphire crystal, automatic movement, date display, and ability to easily track a second time zone with the combined chrono subdial add practicality and functionality. The 44mm case of the newer model has presence without being garish (at least on some wrists). Now, of course, the 9300 movement did not go to the moon. I get it. But then again, neither did the 1861/1863 😉 I'd encourage you to try them both on if you've not already done so. They do wear a little differently.

9300 it is! Already reached out to my AD for pricing. Thank you all.

I bought a 9300 Speedmaster when they first came out.

I had it serviced three times in a year as it wouldn't wind very well via the rotor.

On the third time Omega said it didn't pass QC and it needed a fourth service. They decided to send me a brand new replacement watch and this one has been perfect ever since.

If you get one of recent production, these 2 issues should be resolved...but you still have the warranty if they are not.

I'd call this movement not less than amazing. Super-stable, accurate, no problems whatsoever.
If you have enough wrist to wear it buy it without any doubt.

When were the services after you bought the watch? In the 1st year, or in subsequent years? Did you take it to the same AD every time?

Your experience seems very disappointing and I'm glad to hear that Omega eventually decided to replace. But it also seems not so good that the decision was not made sooner than the fourth instance. Did you have to pressure Omega for replacement?

Much as we like our watches, the memories around the birth of your son are the most important and enduring thing. Believe me, time flies, and it won't seem long before you're looking to buy their first Omegas for your two boys!
