My favorite as well .I froze my Omega once to see if the specs were correct, it kept perfect time untill it didn't . Watch maker said moisture crystals form on movement then rust happens.

The watch looks like new after a new bracelet and a couple of weeks at the Spa

The watch was runned over by a car how that now could have happened.

I'm usually a calm guy but having that happen would seriously make me upset.
