Brand new Seamaster stopping in less then 20 hrs
Hello everyone - Great forum you guys have here. It is full of information and i want to thankyou everyone for sharing their knowledge. I have been learning alot from this forum. I recently bought my first Omega 2254.50 from an AD. It worked fine when i was wearing it everyday in an active lifestyle. I set it aside on one weekend and it stopped the next night. I was surprised and decided to perform a test on it. I wound it 40 times and set it aside and sure enough it stopped again after about 19 hours. I performed the test again two times and got the same kind of results that every time it stopped less then 20 hours. I went back to the AD today and told them of the problem.

It's a 20 x 35mm rectangular cased, 10k gold-filled watch with Hamilton Calibre 980, 17-jewel, manual wind movement. The serial number on the movement dates it to 1940-1941.I never really knew my grandfather as he died in 1966 when I was a bit more than 3 years old. I was named after him. My grandmother kept the watch in a drawer for nearly 40 years and I inherited it while cleaning out her place after she passed away a few years ago.The partial restoration dealt mostly with the mechanicals because, naturally, I wanted to wear it but some cleaning and polishing took place as well. A friend of mine, who's an amateur watch-making enthusiast, did the actual work and he did a great job. We left the original face essentially unrestored for monetary reasons and we couldn't find a new crystal. But, now that I have it back I'm glad that we didn't. I like the vintage ch
