    Welcome, and congrats on the wedding! Omega will get you sorted out. Sweet wedding gift too. My Speedmaster Co-Axial Moonwatch Chrono is also in for repairs. But this is an elective repair. I got the watch for a song, but it had a dented bezel. Didn't effect the movement or watch integrity - strictly cosmetic. Anyway, I figure that I might as well get it fixed up and made perfect, especially for less than $200, and considering how little I paid for this Speedy in the first place. But it will be absolutely pristine when I get it back. The real downside was that the Omega Boutique I use doesn't have the jigs to handle the new 44.25mm Speedmasters so it had to be sent to New York City for the repair. Hopefully I get it back in the next day or two. It's been three days since I dropped it off.

    Thank you for the warm welcoming to the community!
    You know, I was pretty dissapointed by the fact that the watch did not work right out of the box. The first hour I worn, I found it it had stopped on me.
    Well, I am glad it wasm't a grey market, though they are not too hars to repair (by reputable watch makers). Though, I am with out the Omega for past 2 months, when I get the watch back i feel like I would enjoy more.

    Very disappointing that the watch had problems straight out of the box. And also very rare. But that's little consolation to the guy that gets the dud.
