In Response To: Service in DFW area? ()

: Can anyone recommend a place for watch service
: in the DFW area? I've got an Omega
: Speedmaster date that's about 4 years old.
: When setting and winding the watch, I've
: noticed that there's a good deal more
: resistance when working the crown. I assume
: that a cleaning and lubrication is all
: that's needed. I was quoted $200 by an AD
: for local service. Sound right?

I don't live in that area and can't recommend a watchmaker there, but that price seems reasonable for an AD's watchmaker to charge for the service. Omega factory service centers charge an estimated $275-$300 for a full servicing, but a qualified local watchmaker may not charge as much. Just be certain the watchmaker is qualified and has a good reputation. If you have any doubt at all, I'd send it back to Omega directly.
