My Speedmaster Racing

New to the forum and recently purchased my third Omega. So far I love everything (ok almost everything - could do without the yellow speedmaster on the bracelet) about this piece. Fits my wrist perfectly, strap is very comfortable and I really enjoy how the dial changes from gray to black depending on the lighting.

Seems to be running about +12 seconds per day which is less accurarate than expected but I'm hopeful it will slow down a bit after being on my wrist for a while.

I doubt it will slow down... That watch has been around awhile. Did you buy it new old stock? If so was it from an AD?

I appreciate the response. Yes, bought new old stock (Omega box & warranty card stamped 3/30/21) from watchshopping.com. I can handle +12 seconds for now. This is my first chronograph and first coaxial and after reading quite a bit about the 3330 I was hoping for more accuracy. I've read some comments about movements slowing down after being on the wrist for a while so I'm looking for any insight as I try to convince myself馃榾

Beautiful piece and I actually think the matching rubber strap is pretty cool.

That being said.....

12 seconds? NOooooooo

It's a COSC certified watch which means -4 to +6. It may have been tossed around quite a bit going from AD to Gray to you. I don't know much about watchshoping.com, but if you have a warranty card, you should be able to get it regulated back to tolerances free of charge.

Thanks...and I'm hoping to get used to the yellow on the strap. First time buying from gray market and I thought the warranty card was actually void if not purchased directly from an AD.

It鈥檚 also due for a service as it鈥檚 at least 8 years old.

I second this. The pairing is lovely.

That鈥檚 an underrated model. I鈥檝e been looking into the reverse panda color configuration. I think there鈥檚 a lot of value for the money.

Welcome to the forum!

Hello to all omega owners! the minute accumulator does not work, does not reset to zero when the bottom button is pressed. Should I send my chronograph in for repair? everything else works. Has anyone had this problem with this machine? ref. 326.32.40.50.01.001

Not sure if it is a typo but bottom pusher is for reset, top is for start/stop.

Thinking the exact same thing. Although the column wheel while a weak spot is not the issue.

Who has a watch like this on a bracelet? Can you see the numbers? Are they the same as in the photo?

Watchshopping.com鈥檚 warranty cards are valid at the AD. I have a watch on order with them now. Supposedly the warranty cards and watches are from other countries but are valid.

do you have a botique near by?

No that is a different width if I remember correctly.
