Omega

Thanks for the reply

 

Thanks for the feeback.

I also thought that 620 was steep. I took it into Time & Gold Ltd, which is on the official  omega " Customer Service network". They are even listed on the omega.com repair section. I think it may be a pusher problem but they are over charging me for the parts. I feel that I can get a cheaper deal ordered them online.

So if you guys have got your vintage omega watch repaired. How much did it set you back?

I don't even know where to start to find a decent watch repair shop. I don't want to get ripped off but I also want to get a good job done.

So if anyone knows of a good place here in Vancouver BC Canada please let me know. Also how do I get my watch nice and shiny again? What is the average cost of a good cleaning (case and bracelet only).

I have been using this elderly Chinese watch-maker for many years now. He charges me $100 to service my Breitlin Chrono. He is semi-retired but he does a lot of high-end pieces. No shop front any more; I have to see him at his home in Vancouver. He makes ...
