    Hi All,

    I have a Seamaster dated around 2007/2008 (based on serial number) which is consistently losing 17s/day. Might it require regulation if this loss is so consistent, or does a potentially greater issue lurk?
    Does anyone have any recommendation for a watch repair specialist for regulation and/or cleaning and lubrication in the Galway area?
    I would appreciate any advice.

    Emily in Watchrepairs is def. worth a shout.

    An Authorised Dealer will charge significantly more, and take (potentially) months.

    Several established posters here have used Emily's service and found it to be excellent. She doesn't specifically say that she services Omega's, but I suspect it's no problem.

    As you say FM if it's consistently at 17 seconds that's a good sign. A watch that is one day off by 2 seconds fast and the next day 5 seconds slow, while on the surface a "better" timekeeper the consistent watch is the healthier. Plus one on B's recommendation of Emily. Have heard nothing but great things about her and that operation. Again as B says, way more economic than the main stealer prices, IMHO most manufacturers are essentially ripping you off big style. Oh and they make you wait.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Thanks for the recommendations and advice. I have an enquiry in with Tully Watchmakers as it's closer to me, so will see how that works out.

    Have spoken to Emily before and I understand they can also service coaxial movements so I assume the older calibres are no problem.

    As a lad in Texas on watchesuseek said to amember with a similar complaint; 'Send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you'.;)

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
