: First off, make sure its fully wound. If this

Actually, I just sent my SMP 2254.50 in to NJ after it (seemingly overnight) started running at +5 minuts/day. Yes, that's minutes. My dealer, who also resides in the NE mentioned NJ as an option.
After approx. three weeks, I received a letter back indicating that they received the watch and it will need a "complete overhaul" at no charge. After another three weeks, I received the watch back. It was completely re-done; movement repaired and re-calibrated to +2-sec/day, new crystal, (I don't know why they replaced it, but this one has a nice AR coating), new gaskets, completely pressure tested, and every scratch taken out of the band, case and bezel. The watch looks every bit 100% new.
All I can say is whether some folks were unlucky or I was extremely lucky, Omega in NJ did a great job!
