That makes ksense. Thanks again AI. Would that still be considered an easy fix?
There is a likelihood that, if the adjustment were made after the hands were turned clockwise to take up the lash in the dial train, the misalignment would be minimized. However, when you turn the minute had past the hour, then back it up TO the hour, lash in the dial train might mean some misalignment might re-appear! Could you live with that?
Not sure of how this is relevant here. No one mentioned Rolex.
Plus I would gladly take that Air King (with the 9 - 9 indices) over a normal one. One crazy conversation piece.
I'd love to get a "defective" Air King like that!
Last time I checked, watches tend to move in a clockwise motion… so yes, one could live with that.
Smart sarcasm… I like it! Better than the name calling earlier.
What you may find, once the adjustments to the hands are done, that the date change may no longer change at precisely midnight, (if it ever did).
I wasn’t suggesting he get someone other than Omega to work on it...
I figured you weren't, but this whole conversation has been weird, with skepticism being expressed about Omega's ability to make basic adjustments (or maybe the reference is to a watchmaker at an AD or OB) . So who knows what is being considered.
The Omega website only lists 5 service locations in the US as far as I can tell: Secaucus, Culver City, Seattle, Miami, and the San Fran OB. If you're taking the watch to one of those (or similarly in another country), then you should be fine.
If you are having the watch worked on by a watchmaker at an AD, then I don't know if that will protect the warranty. Perhaps it depends whether they are authorized. @Archer would know better.
Yeah, that’s right. It seems the service center here is authorized, similar to the ones you listed in the US.
That brings up an interesting topic, how would Omega “know” you went to a third party watchmaker and not Omega themselves (in terms of voiding the warranty)? In some older pieces, I remember a tiny “red dot” on the case back that would indicate a watch has been opened. I don’t see that anymore. I wonder if anyone knows more about this.

It was discontinued back in 2015...
