: i own a seamaster 2531.80 and i just purchased
: the 2220.80. i noticed that when adjusting
: the time on the 2220.80 while the crown is
: in position 3, it feels "tighter"
: than my 2531.80. any advice?
I gather from what you're saying it is harder to turn the crown in position 3 to set the time, though you have no problems turning it to wind it or set the date. Based on this description, my best guess would be that there is something caught in the threads of the crown, or that the crown itself is defective. I have owned many Omega automatics over the years, and I have found virtually no difference in the amount of force required to turn the crown to set the time.
If the degree of stiffness is substantial (as it sounds like it is), I would return it to the dealer for a replacement since you just bought the watch. They can send it back to Omega as defective and simply swap it out for a new one. Then you can try out the new one to make sure its crown is not exceptionally stiff.
I hope that helps.
