In Response To: Service Time From OMEGA ()

Omega has been phasing out their dealers as of late, as some don't like carrying as many watches as required to keep 'dealer' status. As a result, there are just a lot of sour grapes out there.
I've heard of a restoration taking three months, but bear in mind that this was a very collectable and valuable vintage watch, and Omega was doing a very thorough restoration of it. Service times that i've heard are about industry average.

: I was in a store that was formally an
: authorized dealer of Omega and I was
: surprised to find that they were no longer
: carrying Omegas. I asked why and they said
: that they were having all kinds of trouble
: and customer complaints about the time it
: takes Omega to service a watch. They said
: that sometimes it could take up to eight
: months! I asked if this was for routine
: servicing and he said yes. Has anyone else
: ever heard of anything like this? If true
: that is disappointing.
