Thanks...
...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 Jersey (I live in Colorado), and they do a good job on those, but I have yet to experience any servicing on an Omega, perhaps someday. I had a Speedy (7750 movement) adjusted to within COSC specs (was -15 seconds/day) by a local watchmaker, and I was pretty happy with that.
Maybe you'll want to buy a new SM via le gris market, or stick with an AD. Or there's always Rolex....
Omega Seamaster Service
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...
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...
i'm with chaser on this one.
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...

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
Use another watch service.
There are other places who can work on this watch and give you good service. I have a Planet Ocean and love the watch.
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 buss...

i think to answer your question, your quote is pretty much in line with Omega servicing worldwide and under your circumstances i'd use them.........or move :) best Graham
Wish I could help you with Guatamala
I do have friends from there (Los Angeles has a huge Central American population- good pupusas, too!) I think we are spoiled with a lot of resources here. Good luck.
