Nowhere to go
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 bussiness. They had a quarrel and the guy who left the company that used to be the dealer, open his own and took the dealership from their family. He now distributes Philipe Patek and other fine watches, so I guess my Omega might be safe. The only problem is the price. So being in a dead end street, I just wanted to know if the price was in the average charged (even if it's to much) and if the He valve was a necesary replacement for the service. I guess I'll use the valve, when somebody kills me here and thows me to the depths of the sea.
Thanks

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 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...

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
