G gabs2012Check if the Omega Service Center will take care free under warranty. Otherwise, I wouldn't touch it unless it gets much worse or in time for servicing (quite a while). Seems like as long as you wear it or keep it in the 3 up position, the timekeeping is within the acceptable range.
Have you tried other positions overnight, like dial down?
You definitely don’t want to take it to an independent watchmaker who can’t perform Omega warranty service. If you ever need warranty service in the future and Omega can tell someone has opened the case that wasn’t an official service center, you have just voided the warranty.
Frankly, based on the numbers you posted, I wouldn’t worry. The average rate when you have worn the watch is pretty good, about +3 sec/day. I assume when you have stated “dial up” for several days in a row it is not worn. It might be that it doesn’t have a full power reserve when you stop wearing it for a few days — I.e, it wasn’t wound fully or you weren’t active enough for the auto winding mechanism to wind it fully. If it keeps good time when worn, it’s working fine.
A AxeGekkoI guess you're right. Prob just my OCD that would like it to be in 1s at most. Not gonnaie, if I can at least get a free report, maybe a free quick regulation I'll give it shot. But for a couple hundred bucks I'll deal.
Thank your for your advice/thoughts.
A AxeGekkoMy 2019 black wave Omega SMP 300m Diver is running roughly +6.9secs. When's it's 3 o'clock up it runs around 2. But much more worn or dial up. I don't know if I knocked it or what. But would love to have it checked out. What would be best route... Service Center, ad watch repairer, third party watch repairer?? Also what would be the rough cost?
I don't know what the specifications are for this watch, but I'm pretty sure it's not +/-1s per day. You can't expect a watch to perform substantially better than it's specified timing tolerances. That's the nature of the movement and there's no reason to think that further regulation will improve things significantly. If you require better timekeeping, a quartz watch would be a good choice for you.
My new 300M is 7.5 spd fast when face up (e.g. stored in display case). When stored 3 o'clock up, it loses about 1 spd.
This watch has a Cal. 8800 inside, and the timing tolerances are as follows:
Average daily rate, measured over 6 positions: 0 to +6 seconds per day
Maximum variation in rate (Delta) over 6 positions at full wind = 14 seconds
Maximum variation in rate (Delta) over 6 positions at 24 hours after full wind = 16 seconds
Given these numbers, your expectations that the watch can run at a max. daily deviation of +1 seconds, is unrealistic.
I would suggest the first thing you do is experiment with various storage positions to find the one that slows the watch down the most overnight.
Cheers, Al
