Another Omega rip-off...
I like Omegas and have owned (and sold) several of them, and I'm a 'gray' kind of guy, so as far as warranties and all that, I don't worry (I usually sell them before they get too old!). I currently have a SM AT with the 2500C movement and I've had it for about a month and it's working fine. My question: what kind of SM diver's watch? Age? Movement? Is it under warranty? And that He release valve is more show than usefulness: the Rolex Submariner doesn't have one (I may be mistaken on that), and the SDDS (Sea Dweller) has a nice one built right into the side of the case, no unscrewing the He crown. I think Doxa is the same way. And be careful with those screw-down crowns, Omega's is a bit more sensitive (spelled: cheaply made) compared to Rolex's. You get what you pay for! Enjoy! =:^D

The winding crown on my watch broke (guess I'm too strong or too stupid), anyway, took it to the authorized dealer and they quote me the service. Around $400. Is this reasonable? What exactly is done on a service? They told me that they needed to change t...

i love Omega's, more the vintages, but Omegas none the less. i used to have them serviced at their UK vintage service centre which is actually a privately owned company. average cost is £200-£400 which i think is a ridiculous price, the only advantage bei...

...for your support on that opinion. I've only had Omega's recently (over the past 2 or 3 years) and, as I mentioned, I buy, wear for a while, and then sell them and chose my next 'victim' (whatever). I've had Seiko's serviced at the facility in New Jerse...

i've had a lot of new megas in the past. smp300's smp300 chrono's, lots of speedies, but my only 'new' 2 now are a 2003 railmaster and a 2004 petrograd museum piece. new watches are far too pricey and they dont appeal to me that much anymore. best Graham

Well, I really don't have much choice, I live in Guatemala and trust me, if I send the Omega to a non dealer, I might finish with a Casio movement on it. there is only one authorized dealer here, there was another that used to be, but it was a family buss...
