Have you thought of maybe changing the battery ?

My Omega costs $35 a battery change.
They give you a 2 year warranty, and they always run out in 26
months.

Have seriously though of getting a $19.95 throw away watch, and
flogging my engraved gold retirement Omega.

I have an Omega *real* analog auto-wind (no battery) from the early
sixties that still runs like a swiss clock (cough!).

I have a real Omega analogue mechanical watch that I need to wind every day
by hand. But I use my electronic one because it runs just fine for over 2
years at a time without needing to wind anything.
