Re: Not So Great Co-Axial
In Response To: Re: Not So Great Co-Axial ()

Hey Andries, have you had the Co-Axial looked at by Omega repairers while it's still under warranty? I would send it to Switzerland and get it attended to. I have a Planet Ocean that runs just under 2 secs fast per day and I have been testing my new AT Co-Ax for the last 12 days and it is only 3 secs fast at the moment. Regarding service intervals, yes, we are getting varying stories from Omega HQ and the current Instruction Manuals. I spoke to my Repair Manager who wears a Co-Ax and he said that the Co-Ax Escapement would probably go 10 years without a service, but it is still bolted onto an ETA movement which requires servicing more frequently. His opinion is six years. That equates to a couple of years more than a normal auto movement.
But Andries, send your watch to Omega and get it seen to. They should easily be able to sort it out for you.
Just my 2c.
I hope this helps.
