Is there any truth or merit in the urban myth that some people are just
not compatible with mechanical watches?
I bought my wife a lady's Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer
Officially Certified" stainless steel timepiece in the early 1970s in
Hong Kong. It is not fake or replica, was purchased new from an official
Omega outlet and came with its official papers out of the box.
The watch has been rarely worn because from the get-go it stopped, lost
time, gained time, and went fast and slow before stopping. It has not
been dropped, injured, abused or exposed to magnetization and has been
serviced several times over the years.
When I wear the watch it works perfectly. I have the man's version of
the same watch, bought at the same time, and their time keeping is
virtually identical.
My wife's mother had the same problem with mechanical watches. When
digital watches appeared my wife invested in cheap $10 versions and they
have all worked fine.
Any opinions ?
