·I am relatively new to the world of Omega, but have a 1962 Seamaster, Reference 14701, Caliber 562. I have identified 3 primary issues and I would love to tap into the expertise across this group, if possible:
1) I find that it gains and loses time (up to 5 minutes both ways) during the course of a day
2) After a full day of wearing the watch, the battery reserve is often less than 3 hours
3) If I find that the watch has stopped, I reset it, strap it on my wrist, and go about my way. However, almost 100% of the time, I find that I have to reset the watch again. It reminds me of a child who refuses to wake up from a deep sleep until you shake them for a second time!
I have been told that, often, these watches become magnetized. That is something I know very little about and the information found on the internet is often contradictory and/or confusing. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
