That's probably about half of what your wife paid for the watch in the first place. It also indicates that the problem involves a non-trivial repair.

I'd let the place it was bought from handle the repair. If they can't get it fixed right, I'd consider it an expensive mistake to have bought from them. But it would be smarter to put the $550 toward another OMEGA from a more reliable dealer than continuing to throw money into a watch that seems in pretty questionable shape, especially if the seller ends up being unable to provide adequate repairs.
