I’m feeling so frustrated with my PO chronograph right now. It has the 9900 movement and this morning when I woke up it had stopped. I thought it may have just run out of power reserve so I manually wound it and nothing. Just dead. This will be the third time now in about 4 years since new with the same issue.

Anyone else had this kind of trouble with the 9900? I’m just curious if there are any known issues with this movement similar to what the Speedmaster had (bushing issue).

I wear…

Omega SM PO with calibre 9900 dead for third time in 4 years!!!

Really would love to see some wrist shots. It’s such a unique piece but hard to get a feel for it with the promotional shots.

Awful week.

We’ve been moving into our new office/workshop this week, so I was getting home quite tired by end-of-day. Thankfully, the flu that I’ve had over the past few weeks has finally subsided.

This was going to be a longer post but I don’t want to go into the details and I don’t want to lower the mood of this thread.

I’m always amazed and…

Hi all,

Hoping to hear back from 36 mm Omega Seamaster (preferably Quartz) owners about your experiences with your watches, specifically:

• Servicing – is there much to service? Do they need anything besides gaskets and battery change done? Does it use a standard battery, so it can can be purchased aftermarket, or does it have to go back to Omega?
• Is anyone rocking one of these on a 7 to 7.5 inch / 18 to 19 cm wrist? I’ve been toying with the idea of one, but am assuming it would…

36 mm Seamaster questions

Why hasn’t Omega done a true replacement for the Seamaster 300 GMT? Which was a nice, reasonably sized gmt watch, with decent water resist capability.

There seems to be genuine interest in such a watch from omega even though maybe the gmt phase is a bit quieter, forum interest is only written words and the aftermarket for the both the 50th and the great white seems still lively (indicate some kind of demand i suppose)..

The PO GMTs are all big and tall, and many are dive watches first…
