·Dear fellow watch enthousiast,
Recently I bought a used (+- 2007) Omega Speedmaster Professional (3570500) and have had a few problems with the chronograph function since.
After a week of owning it, the hour-hand of the chronograph started "creeping" while the chronograph was not running.
This problem has been fixed by the watchmaker of the seller I bought it from.
Today, a few weeks after receiving it back, another, bigger(?) problem has turned up.
Although I almost never use the chronograph function, I just wanted to start it to time something.
To my surprise, when I pushed the start-button of the chronograph, nothing happened. I don't feel the "click" as you normally should when starting it, and the seconds-hand simply stays at "12". In other words, the chronograph function is not working anymore.
Do any of you have any experience with this type of problem? What could be causing it and obviously how to fix this?
Since the watch is relatively young (+-2007) I'm quite dissapointed that another problem is showing already. I assume this isn't normal for this type of movement?
Can it do any harm if I wear the watch in the meantime? I send a message to the same watchmaker that fixed the "creeping hand problem" and will have to wait for his reply.
Thank you kindly in advance for answering my questions.
Best regards,
104RS
