Re: Lemania5100 chrono hand does not reset to zero
In Response To: Lemania5100 chrono hand does not reset to zero ()

I've had my chrono fail to reset to zero before but that was because I had taken it to be cleaned by a non-Omega dealer and he just overlooked it when putting it back together. It was a simple fix to realign it. BTW, that was the last time I took it to a non-AD.

However, the inconsistency of yours sounds like something has broken loose. I would have it looked at because if it is a broken part, it could be doing considerable damage to the rest of the watch (some that won't be immediatly apparent). Sort of like having some grains of sand in your engine; eventually it will kill your car.

I'd go the safe road and have it looked at. If it turns out to be something simple your AD might not even charge you. If it's something serious, you might save the watch (or grand expenses) by checking it now.
