Looks good. Amazing how much they vary in cost. Instead of shaking it's more advised to just turn the crown 15-30 turns.

I have a Seamaster. I very rarely wear mine. They are nice watches, but need maintenance regularly, if not it gets costly to get them going again. I'm highly irritated by this, after spending a couple grand on a watch, they shouldn't need anything IMO.

My daily watch is a Concord chrono automatic, I've had it for approx 5-6 years, it cost more than the Omega and runs much better, plus it's had zero issues.

I won't be buying another Omega, my brother has had a lot of issues with his as well, I think he's rather annoyed by it as well.

One of the reasons why I got rid of my Breitling. I was not up for winding it all the time.

It is an annoyance though, you spend all that money and then it breaks all the time. It ain't German is it
