Bent Seamaster lug

[beastomaniac]

I have current Seamaster 300 which has bent lug. Is it safe just to bend it back without warming etc or will it crack easily? Should I notice something special before I try to bend it back?

The watch has regular stainless steel case.

Depends on how it looks and how much it's bent? Show us a picture.

It's not bad at all, the gap between the bracelet and the lug at 5 position is just little bit bigger than in other lugs. I wonder what kind of force it requires to bend the lug because there are no marks of any kind in the bracelet...

That is strange. In that direction also? If it had a knock it would be bent inwards? Have you measured it? Could it be the endlinks that are different size or bent? Have no idea how to bent that back? You have to send it to Omega to replace the case or for them to bend it back into shape i think? Nice looking watch nevertheless? If you not like it send it to me

I agree with Roger above.  Measure the distance between each lug to find the error before heading to your Omega shop.  I have a feeling it is probably a manufacturing fault.

Could turn the bracelet around. That should tell you whether it's the case or end pieces that is out.

I don't have the watch on my hands at the moment. I sold the watch for the client who noticed this issue. Luckilly I took the pictures before I sent it for the customer. My client said that the lug seems to be bent by bare eye. Unfortunately I can't be sure if it's manufacturing defect or not. Warranty is valid either way.

Bending it back will probably mark the case.. badly.

Get Omega to sort it out.

Very strange bent...I agree with anilv...Omega is the awnser.

There was one with a bent lug for sale on eBay recently. Looked like it had been run over by a car.
