Moon Watch Question Posted By: Mario <bigchief45ca@yahoo.ca> Date: 3/25/06 04:48 GMT I recently bought an Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch however I cannot find the serial number on the outside of the watch. I checked the slugs and outside of the case but I cant find them. Is it possible that the serial number is inside the case? The watch is new an I have the warranty card. Also when I reset the chronograph the hour's had doesn't reset complete to the 12' O'clock position, I have to press hard in order to reset it. Is this normal? It sounds odd. Any input is greatly appreciated. -- Chuck
It depends upon the age of the moonwatch you bought. Any legitimate moonwatch bought after 1996 or so should have a Serial Number laser etched on the back of the 7 o'clock lug. If it doesn't have a serial number on the 7 o'clock lug, the watch is either an earlier vintage moonwatch or it's had the serial number defaced off the watch (if you bought it from a Gray Marketeer or a shadier dealer), or never had a serial number (it's a fake).
It sounds to me you should get your watch returned to the place/person you sold it to, especially if you're having problems with it.
It should reset smoothly with a single push of the reset pusher. If it does not, it likely needs cleaning, lubrication and/or adjustment. Something a new watch will rarely need, unless it's been in a display cabinent for a number (read 3 or more) years.
Hope this helps!
