Did I get a Lemon..???

I purchased a new Speedmaster Pro (Moon watch) in 2005. After about 18 months the stop watch button quit working. I took the watch back to the dealer who returned it to Omega for repair (warranty). I got the watch back after two months and I thought my troubles were over.

It worked fine for about 9 months and then it became erratic and was stoping frequently.

It is now back at Omega (still under warranty) for repair.

My question is: Did I get a "lemon"?

The reason that I chose the Speedmaster Pro was because it was suppose to be the "toughest watch in the world". So far, I'm not impressed.

Has anyone else had these types of problems with their Omegas?
