·I’ll try and keep this as concise as possible; I’m just curious to know if anyone has experienced similar...
Several weeks ago, when stopping my 3yo Moonwatch’s chrono, the pusher jammed. A cursory glance told me the watch had actually run out of power, so I gave the crown a spin and after that it seemed fine. A week went by. I used the chrono a few times but no further issues.
Then, when starting the chrono, the same thing happened, only this time it wouldn’t budge. No amount of fiddling or crown action made any difference, so the next day I took it to the local AD. They tried to shift it; no joy there either. Off it went for what we all assumed would be a full service.
Four weeks go by and I haven’t heard a thing, so today I called in at the AD as I was passing on the off-chance they had any updates. Long story short: Omega said they couldn’t find any fault with the watch. They’d taken the back off, pushers out, put it back together, tested it repeatedly etc. They were about to do a “partial service“ (waterproof gasket, new pushers, £200) and then I turned up. I basically decided that if there’s nothing wrong with it, they can just send it back and I’ll save myself a few quid for the time being, thank you very much. Apparently the service centre wondered if I’d pressed the pusher in at an angle somehow... but I wouldn’t even have noticed if I had. The mystery remains unsolved...
