I recently received my Seamaster 300 Chronograph GMT back from a full service and noticed that it had a very deep scratch on the top left lug and side near the helium escape valve. Not only this, the watch was running +7 seconds fast per day.
Needless to say I was furious as when I sent the watch for service it did not have that scratch. It was actually on really good condition and had hardly any scratches as I just purchased it a few days prior earlier this year. I sent it in for service because the crown felt a little gritty when setting the time, although it was +1 seconds per day. Since the case was in great condition I asked them not to polish it.
I called the service center and they said the watch arrived in their possession with the deep scratch and they sent me a photo from intake. I then sent them a photo of the watch the day I shipped it off with no scratches. I just sent it back to them for service.
How would you all handle this situation?
Should I press them to polish the case and regulate the watch quickly as possible as I don't want to have to wait another 3 months.
I am very disappointed at Omega. Somewhere in there process the watch was scratched deeply. Not only that, they didn't even try to polish the watch.
When I sent me Rolex in for service and requested that they do not polish, they have always called me to confirm what service was needed and if I was sure that I wanted to polish. Why can't Omega offer similar level of customer service? Why did they have to butcher my case with a deep scratch? This message has been edited by patrick_y on 2023-05-28 09:07:46. Thread locked.
