Re: clarifications
In Response To: Re: clarifications ()

: Sam is absolutely correct about servicing.
: We've all heard both good and bad stories
: about repair jobs from Omega authorized
: service centers, so there's never a
: guarantee that even Omega will fix your
: watch properly the first time. Still, given
: the choice between some gray market jeweler
: or an Omega service center, I think the odds
: are in my favor if I go with Omega.

: I'm very lucky to have a superb local
: watchmaker at one of the local AD's down
: here, and he charges $160 for the full five
: year recommended service. Now that the Omega
: factory prices have gone up to near $300 (as
: Dell confirmed), I may very well give him my
: business when my watches need this service.
: I would only do this with a watchmaker I
: trust, and I have seen his work (he has
: fully restored vintage Pateks, etc.).
Stick with AD why take a chance............
