Thank you all for the advice. I've stop messing with it. It's beeing sent back to Andrew, who has been helpful during this whole process. Thanks again.

I just got an SMP from Andrew with swiss eat. It does have the 3 hour mark. I am having a problem getting the second hand started which is another story. I bought it at the end of last week and it was shipped monday. I wonder why mine has the mark? I hope it really is a swiss eta, thats what I paid for.

Hey Y'all I know this is my first post but I've been around for a few weeks now doing research on my first rep. I always knew it had to be the omega SMP (swiss eta), and i finally decided on one of the trusted dealers here. So I got the watch today and I love it. It has the 3 hour mark wich i was hoping it would. However, I noticed that the second hand was not moving. I unscrewed the crown, set the date and time and then tried to push it back in to wind. This took a few tries to get it because I could not get it to the right position to wind. I finally did and must have wound it for about 3 or 4 min straight. But still no movement. I contatcted the dealer and he instructed me to shake it vigirously and then it should be fine. I did this and the second hand started to move. I was so happy. 45 seconds later it froze again. I repeated the proces several times with similar otcome. The hand will move anywehre between 5 seconds and 1 mintue and then it freezes. I shake the hell out of it, it moves a little more and it stops again. Any suggestions. I sent the dealer another email but he has not responded to my newest finding. Thank you all for your help in advance. P.S. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when I was planning on buying a rep, but I have quickly become addicted to reading posts and learning as much as I can about my new hobby.
