My SMP is losing between 1-2 minutes per week. I would imagine that it simply needs the movement to be regulated but of course, I have no way of knowing this. It has 2 months of warranty remaining, so hopefully this will be addressed with no out-of-pocket costs but that aside, is this something my OB can address locally, or should I ship it to an Omega service center? I’d appreciate your suggestions.

I own a PO 43.5 which for all practical purposes, is perfect for me. The problem is, I can’t get my mind off the PO 75th Anniversary Summer Blue. (I just can’t cope with the fact it wasn’t offered in 43.5).

SMP non-ac (2230.50): Post Your Mods
This watch has been on my radar for a very long time and will be holding it soon. Like many before me, I am interested in the possible mods to individualize it.
Continue readingIt’s coming with a PO 42mm crystal installed. Otherwise, it’s in stock configuration.
I would be interested in installing a PO seconds hand with the tip painted red, a black ceramic bezel and an adjustable clasp. Other than the clasp, I will enjoy it in its near-stock condition while I settle on the mods I commit to implementing…
First Time for Everything, I Guess (I got scammed)
I’ve been buying and selling here for a few years now. All warm, fuzzy feelings over the thrill of getting my hands on a new watch – until today. Warm, fuzzy feelings came crashing down, left feeling cold and empty.
Continue readingFor starters, I’m not naming the seller because I don’t have any evidence that it was the seller that scammed me. My investigation is in the preliminary stages but so far, things point to it being an inside job at USPS.
My lost precious is an Omega SMP Non-AC. I saw one…
