A quartz model of the Omega Seamaster 300 received in response to a customer's request for repair.
When I opened the back cover, it looked like this.
The battery was leaking, so I removed it.
This caused the terminals and screws to rust.
When turning the needle, the long and short hands turn together, so
Maybe this leak has some kind of effect.
The reason for this is none other than ``leaving it stopped after the battery ran out''.
I don't think it would have gotten to this point if you had at least removed the battery as soon as it died.
Battery leakage can damage not only the heart circuit, but also major parts such as terminals.
We will be replacing the circuit during the overhaul, but the most important thing is whether the circuit can be found.
Recently, the cost of parts has been rising, and due to the popularity of this model, there are concerns about parts shortages.
However, we definitely want to meet the requests of customers who say, ``I want to fix a watch because I have a lot of feelings about it.''
So it may take some time, but we will maintain it properly.
Quartz watches can be overhauled for a while even after production ends, but
If there is serious damage such as leakage, it cannot be repaired unless the circuit is available.
In addition, the manufacturer may also discontinue service at the same time as production ends.
The image of battery-powered watches as ``disposable'' may have spread.
However, just like mechanical watches, battery-powered watches can last a long time if they are properly handled and maintained.
Of course, there may be limits, but rather than giving up, please consult us first.
Perhaps you will be able to revive your favorite watch and use it again.
This request is for a repair that we would like to produce some results.
Once we know the progress, we will introduce it on the blog!
