Thanks for that. It's a real nice watch, and after the service, it came back looking like brand new. Watch face looked as new, strap polished up etc, but it was a shame when it began condensating inside.
I live about 1 mile from the Omega House in the UK, nice place they have got by the way. Lady in there was very apologetic. They also do Tissots and Swatch-es. It's handy because all I have to do is pop in and I get the newest catalogue and price guide for free whenever I'm in there.
Cheers for the advice anyway, best regards.
