Re: U S Service Pricing
In Response To: Re: U S Service Pricing ()

: I would ask your dealer to furnish you with a
: copy of the invoice so you can see exactly
: how the cost is broken down. $300 will get
: your watch a full servicing, which includes
: replacement of all the lubricants and any
: worn parts, polishing the entire watch to
: make it look like new, pressure testing the
: watch for water resistance, replacing all
: the gaskets and the crown, and testing your
: watch to make sure it is within COSC specs
: after servicing. The pins and sleeves should
: only cost a few dollars, so I can only guess
: that they are charging you a fortune for the
: diver's extension.

: There is also the possibility that your AD is
: "jacking up the price" to get a
: premium for his time in sending it to Omega
: for you. If this is the case, and he can't
: show you an invoice from Omega with a
: detailed breakdown of the costs, then I'd
: send it to Omega yourself. You'll eliminate
: the "middle man" and any
: costs/hassles associated with it.

: Good luck,
: John

John,
You are the best! I will do EXACTlY what you said. The real issue here is that I don't feel comfortable with the AD which was Lee Micheals, Fine Jewlers. All they did was ask me what I think
I bought my watch for and what was needed. I received a reciept back with my declared value, No Date, No Serial Number, And something that says omega mens ss seamaste blue top. "est. on new clasp and refinish. I will have to find all my original paperwork. I am going back to the mall as soon as I press "post message". How do I go about sending it into Omega myself?
