Think about their credibility regarding warranty service: if they had original Omega parts, they would most certanly replace crown with original crown bearing Omega symbol on it. You would be probalby pretty happy with the watch.

Regular Omega maintanance service includes replacement of: rubber seals, pushers, crown(s) and all damaged internal parts not made of precius metals. So, how much is their regular maintenance (or any other) service worth to you if they do not (apparently) have any original Omega parts?
