Hello again,
My new vintage Seamaster automatic (1960s) was running 2 minutes slow per day when it arrived.
I had it looked at by a watchmaker (who I don't know very well, so don't really trust yet!). He said it looks in good, clean condition inside. He thought that it could be made good by adjusting the regulator.
After adjustment the watch is now going slow by 1.5 minutes a day. He did say that he only "tweaked" it so it seems like there is more adjusting to be done.
However my local Omega dealer told me today that it would be unwise to adjust the regulator of the watch without carrying out a full service first.
My question is, should I just ask the watchmaker to make a further adjustment, or is the dealer right?
Many thanks for any advice!
