Based on what I've read on other Omega forums, many of the regional service centers aren't quite up to par, so Omega is trying to build up the reputation of the Secaucus, NJ US Headquarters by trying to get more people to send their watches there.
Your particular service center may be fine, but if they give you a quote that seems too high, then they may be playing games with you. On the other hand, if they have a decent reputation and aren't very busy right now, you may get your watch back a lot sooner.
I'd check into your local service center to see if anyone can provide you with any feedback. If they seem to be giving you a fair estimate and can get your watch back quickly, then I don't see a problem. You do get a 2-year warranty on any work they perform, so if you have a problem you can take the watch back to them or send it to NJ.
