My favorite Seamaster

C Christiang

Purchased in 1992 my Seamaster was my only wrist watch for about 10 years. In 2010 a local jeweler in an effort to replace the battery, scratched the back pretty badly and still failed to open the case. I sent the watch to Omega for a full service. They cited signs of water entry, replaced the crown, the back, seals and the movement (!). I noted a distinct change in how the new crown seated, called Omega and was told the new crown would wear in. Well it really didn’t and about 8-9 months later I dipped it in a glass of water and noticed condensation on the inside. I sent the watch back to Omega as it was still under the service warranty. Apparently the new crown had not been a good fit, and had damaged the case - which Omega replaced. So 20 years later my watch was again good as new. It continues to operate perfectly and while I have a number of other watches, but this one remains my favorite.
