Well, in that case . . .
. . . you've got a quandary on your hands. If it's meaningful to your folks, then having Omega service them is really the only option, especially considering the missing or dilapidated parts on your Dad's model - seconds hand, crown, and dial. And when it comes to case restoration, there are relatively few watchmakers that can do a credible job other than Omega . . . most either don't have the necessary equipment or skills for the work.
It boils down to whether the pleasure of surprising your parents with refreshed Omegas justifies the considerable outlay.
And, btw, thanks for understanding our general rule regarding price discussion - much appreciated!

. . . have sentimental value for your parents or yourself? If so, then sending them to Omega for overhaul might be justifiable. The cost, though, will be several multiples their market worth. These Genève Dynamics are in long supply, and trade in good con...
Bang On the Button
Art, Thanks for this post! I wanted to ask about "value" of the watch, but I know we do t like to discuss this on the forum. But what you said was what I was having on my mind. Not much sentimental value, really - except perhaps my parents may like to wea...
