hi guys. Recently bought an omega P.O. 8800. And noticed it is gaining quite a large amount of time has anyone else had similar issues

Thanks rich

 

Define a large amount of time.

 

15-16 seconds a day. Watch is roughly one month old

 

Are you located near an Omega Boutique? If so they should be able to regulate it.

 

That a supplier like goldsmiths?

 

No that is an Authorized Dealer.


To find a Boutique go here.

who did you buy this watch from?

 

Found one about 60miles away. And I bought it from goldsmiths

 

So take it back to them and say it's out of specs.

 

Am I right in thinking specs are between -2 and +6

 

you can call GOldsmiths, I am not sure if they have the ability to regulate the watch. I'd call the OB first to see what they say after you talk to gold smiths.

 

Okay thanks for your time

 

Goldsmiths almost certainly won't be able to regulate it but it should be under warranty.

From my experience most U.K. boutiques don't have the ability to regulate either.

 

They'll take care of you, but you'll be without the watch for 3-5 weeks as it is sent for warranty service.

 

I thought specs should be like +2/-2 with this being a co-axial master chronometer.

 

Regular COSC watches are from -1 to +6 for average daily rate. Master chronometers are 0 to +5. These are the full wind specs.

Cheers, Al

 

likely just magnetised, no?

 

Most likely not, even less so with that movement.

 

ah, right, thanks #modernwatches

 

+1. Take it to a boutique.
