Just been to my local Omega dealer - they've suggested it might be because it hasn't been worn for a while, to wear it for a few days to get the oil flowing again etc...does that sound resaonable? (otherwise, service would be £180-£230 through their own local chap rather than Omega). As it was described as "working perfectly", I'm loath to spend an extra £200 straightaway 😀
Yes, I did wind it, but maybe not enough the first time. Yesterday, I wound fully and wore for over 10 hours, but it still stopped at half-past midnight.
Back on the wrist today, and keeping good time. Let's see if it persists.
I'm a man of many material passions, watches are a new venture.
I've got some questions hopefully you guys will help me out with.
Greetings, and thanks for having me.

Keep us updated on how this progresses Dandy
Still stopping overnight , so has now headed for a service. Oh well. Quick question...eventually the bezel will need replacing (a scratch and missing the top luminous dot)...can I get one direct from Omega? (the only other place I've seen is Otto Frei in USA. I am in UK and would prefer to avoid postage.
Hey guys, name's Ryan and I'm a new member here. Definite watch aficionado, but haven't delved too deep into Omegas yet.
J JimmyBHello all,
Would just like to introduce myself having just purchased the limited edition Seamaster Planet Ocean 007 Skyfall.
Purchased my first 'premium' watch last november, a Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph, and almost to the day a year later the Omega (best start saving for Novemeber 2013 as there's a pattern here!)
Read all of your views on the Skyfall edition. Many of you are not keen on 'themed' watches. Neither am I generally but having drooled over the elusive Skyfall model on the web, in magazines and asking about it in the dealers, constantly thinking 'I will never be lucky enough to own anything of limited edition status', I was speechless when it found me at the airport on the way back to the UK recently.
I heard that a watch 'speaks to you' when you find the 'one'. The Skyfall did just that for me.
Pictures alone do not do the watch justice. The dial, that represents the grille of James Bonds vintage Aston Martins, and the subtle 007 at the 7 o'clock position that can only be seen at certain viewing angles add that little something special to an already stunning timepiece.
There is no proof without pictures I believe so hopefully the picture shows ok.
Regards,
JB
