hello all, just joined your brilliant forum.
If I may, I would like to ask a question please.
I purchased my Broad Arrow just over two years ago, my wife bought me 'watch winder' for Christmas last year.
My question is, as I only wear my watch approx ten to fifteen times a year, should I let it run flat and set the time and date each time I wear it or keep it charged in the winder?
Thanks in advance.

 

Hi Dsio,
Thanks for your advice, I work shifts at an oil refinery and wouldn't dream of wearing it at work.
I am concerned regarding damage and only wear it on selective occasions, I suppose due to how much it cost, it's quite an expensive watch to wear on such few occasions.
I've turned the winder off and placed back in its box.

 

Thanks, I'll wear it more often, although it might seem a bit sad, I do just enjoy looking at it.
With reference to having it serviced, does it have to back to Omega or would a certified Omega repairer be able to carry out the service? I haven't really looked into yet as its only just over two years old.

 

If you're concerned about damage, I would suggest a Casio G-Shock. Tough as nails and cheap,too.

 

For £50 (Amazon) you can't beat this had it 2 years tough as old boots.

If you're working with actual machinery at the refinery then I'd probably do the same as you and not wear it for fear of hitting it on something or because there's powerful machinery that generate strong magnetic fields. If you're in a control room/office you should be okay I suppose, just be mindful of things with powerful magnets.

Thanks for all your advice, I'll try and upload a picture or two.

 

Finally uploaded a photo, although not the best quality.

 

That's wonderful, keeping it safe from the wear and tear of the day job is a smart move indeed!

 

Another one, but struggling with the bright sunshine

 

Looks even better in the light!

 

Very nice watch and welcome to the forum.

+1 on G-Shock recommendation.
