·Hello all,
I purchased a 1966 vintage Omega Seamaster ref 165.002 a few months ago on Chrono24. I bought it from an authorized dealer who seems reputable and has good reviews. He had told me that it had been serviced relatively recently. I only wore it once or twice and the crown was operating smoothly. However, I recently tried turning the crown and it’s not smooth and it’s as if I’m meeting resistance on the first turn… when the watch isn’t even running. I can wind the crown through the resistance but obviously that’s not good practice. The watch runs after manually winding or just wearing it and letting the automatic movement do its thing. But the winding issue is concerning me. Any ideas of what can be causing this and approximately how much it would cost to fix? Thanks in advance.
