·Saw this on Hodinkee and figured I'd share here. Very cool video.
Cool, but not the best advertisement for Omega! Lots of debris inside the watch…and the chronograph isn’t adjusted per specs.
The teeth of the coupling yoke wheel are adjusted too deeply into the teeth of the chronograph wheel. The former should extend about 1/3 into the latter…looks like 2/3+ in the video.
Do you think it's been incorrectly serviced, or is it possible Omega let it past QC like this? The tiny little fibres I would think are unavoidable but that big bit the size of one of the teeth was visible with the naked eye through the caseback, I was pretty surprised by that. It is an older model, I wondered if maybe it's been opened up before. The owner didn't seem to care, that would annoy the hell out of me!
The video was excellent. I knew it was a fairly violent action but seeing wheels vibrating and just how much the hands swing like pendulums on the reset was still surprising.
Not impressed with video.
