Changed the battery (again) for my X-33 after the 5sec tick. All good for another three years and cost - £3.00 replacement battery. Quite a bit of fluff under the echo chamber - but movement clean.
Decided to move to NATO for a change

Not a delicate battery is it?!
There are a lot of electrical things going on in that watch, it needs to be a big battery!
The whole display lights up like a torch - that must take a lot of power, plus the alarm is the loudest I know on the market - enough to be heard above the jet engines thrusters on a Jupiter 1 launch vehicle.
mine has the 1666C module so TCQ

Omega have quoted me £150 for a battery & re-seal for my X-33.
I dont fancy doing this myself - even though I have tinkered in the past.
Anyone know anyone in Gloucester / Cheltenham area who could do it ?

I received my X33 back from Omega today & was dismayed to see the 5 second EOL skips on the second hand.
As I was talking to the very helpful customer service lady, it sprang into fully operational mode.
I assume this is because it's been sitting in a chilly shipping/storage facility for a few days ?
( it was shipped Friday but I wasn't around )
Is this normal - Or does it need to go back ?
TIA
