Hi everyone, this is my first post to this site though I have been a fan of it for close to two years. My problem is as follows.....I recently inherited an Omega Bond SMP from an uncle (I now have two of these beauties!). From what I'm told by other family members, the watch is about nine or ten years old. Other than a few scuffs on the band the watch physically appears to be in very good shape. However, after testing it (by letting it run down, then winding it until I hear the overwind protection kick in), I have noticed that it will only run for about 27 to 30 hours before it quits running again. Do I have a problem? My understanding is that this timepiece should have a 44 hour power reserve. Should I have it serviced? Near as I can tell, the watch has never been serviced(the red dot still appears on the back of the watch). Also, since it is my first Omega that may need service......would you recommend that the local AD's factory trained service guy do the work or should I send it to Omega? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
