Price of servicing tourbillons
Dear all, tell me please whether in the recent past you've serviced watches with tourbillons and what was the price of the service?
Omega is now requesting EUR 5500 for such a service from me and I am trying to understand whether such a hefty price is considered normal industry practice these days. Sounds very aggressive to me... Thx.

That is what I paid
I paid $4750 for servicing my central tourbillon in 2021. It is expensive, but is inline with what other companies are charging. A factor in the high price is the fact that Omega tourbillons are very complicated with their radial gearing and sapphire disk...
Sounds ridiculous cause I believe breguet …
Breguet which is a zillion steps above Omega charges 3250 euro for servicing a tourbillon
Imho Omega's tourbillions
Are not below Breguet's tourbillions, but I also think that 3k EUR is much more reasonable than 5.5k for such a job
In fact
I love the Breguet Tourbillon, specially the 3357, but I would never exchange my Omega Tourbillon for a Breguet (except an original pocket tourbillon of course). The Omega Tourbillon is IMVHO above many tourbillons in terms of originality, rarity and what...
Thanks Dje
Indeed it is a very special watch and I absolutely love it as well. Wear yours in a good health!
Sometimes it's just the cost of a burrito...
...that's gone from $8 to $14 in the past 3 years. That's what's depressing. I never feel sorry for rich people : )
I agree as well. These inflation numbers are well over the single digit 2~4% reported....so many restaurants and items increased xx %, $1 over a $3 may seem not much but it is 33%!!!
Eggs, milk etc, after they gone up, they never will come back down (
The food business has always been fascinating to me....
The premiums that manufacturing concerns, and restaurants at all levels charge exceed any other line of business that I'm familiar with. I frequently pay $30-40 for a simple casual diner meal. If I go for something moderately upscale that'll be $100-150 f...

True - it also depends on the watch I guess
If you paid the retail for original Royal Oak in 1972 for £2,850 which is about $3,614 USD and add on 15k usd for servicing multiple times That’s like 19k, which I think would be a lot less than what you could turn around and sell that watch for these day...
My M100 Elan and also notoriously the Honda/Acura NSX
ate up the original tires at about 3-4,000 miles a set even though it weighs just 2500 lbs. When all the US inventory of the original OEM Goodyears were used up, I switched tires by necessity and also stopped driving like a maniac... now they last much lo...
The hybrid version I had was clocked at 2.9sec for the 0-60mph (car and driver magasine) but it’s my dad who best described the feeling of the acceleration of this car. In his words he said:
It’s violent! When you floor the pedal, it was! 🤭🤭🤭 as for my back, not related but need a small surgery later this year!
Interestingly, IWC maximum service charge
for its most complicated watches is fixed at 2450 EUR, assuming nothing is broken and doesn't require replacement
You get what you pay for
IWC service is atrocious, in particularly for vintage and complicated watches. In my experience Cartier service is excellent, both in terms of price and overall experience. Servicing my monopusher cost me just over $700 and they advised not to polish and ...
I was at the Omega boutique yesterday. One of the associates mentioned handling the service . . .
. . . of a '70s f300 electric. $400 0 was Omega's charge. 🤑
It's a big factor when deciding on watches for me
A lot of brands have increased prices of service quite a bit. Lange is out of control expensive for example. AP, Breguet, and a few others seem more reasonable. It's why I am now sticking to mostly only simple time only...
