Hello. I am knew to the high end watch world. My master coaxial was purschased three days ago. I am timing it and it looks to gain about. 2.5/3 seconds per day. Is that acceptable? Or should I return and look for more accurate watch? From what I read on the Internet, that seems acceptable.

Please advise.

 

The tolerance for these are from -1 to +6 seconds per day average rate. If you tired to return it, they are simply going to tell you there is nothing wrong with the watch (and there isn't anything wrong as it's running well).

Cheers, Al

 

It seems to be well within specifications. Beautiful choice man. Great watch. Congratulations and welcome to the team.

 

Well within spec. You could try leaving it overnight in different positions (face up, face down, crown up, crown down) to see if in any of those static positions it loses slightly. That way, you can slow the overall monthly gain if it's gaining slightly on your wrist. Being new, it may also settle down a bit in use but don't know what other members experience with that is.

 

Very nice. Congratulations on a great choice.

 

Definitely no issue - nice AT.

 

that's a beauty, and seems to be dead on balls accurate (it's an industry term)

 

Thanks. Once it settled, it is at about 40 seconds/month. That's great, as far as I am concerned. Very happy with the watch.

 

I wish Belichik would've used that line when dropping the Mona Lisa Vito reference.

"Our pumps to inflate our balls are not exactly dead on balls accurate."

 

Unless the balls are deflated...

 

I noticed it's on your right hand! Are you a lefty or just prefer it that way?

 

Beautiful. 41.5 mm?

 

As a recent first time owner of an Omega Aqua Terra 150 Master Co Axial, I had noticed over the last few weeks that my watch gains about 6 or seconds every day. At first I was prepared to go charging back to the shop I bought it from demanding something is done about it. However having read this article my mind has been put at rest that this would appear to be standard for an automatic watch.......Pheww!!!

 

Your watch has sat static for some time since the factory finished it. Allow it a month or so of running constantly, and surprisingly, you may find its rate will improve.

 

Thanks Canuck.
I love the watch by the way and I am already planning my next one which will be a Semester 300 master coaxial

 

My Newly acquired "Captain's" watch gives it's holiday greetings. Since 11/2-5 weeks with daily wear, it is overall, an amazing +6 sec. After adding 3 Rolexes to the collection over the last few years, didn't think I'd go back to Omega until recently.
