: Hi Lorenzo (& guys )

: a bit more Info.

: Should you decide to send your watch to Omega
: Bienne, you can't do much better than to
: read Bill C's EXCELENT description of what
: he did & what Omega did

: Here's a link to Bill C's webpage

: The web page is quite old now & Bill lives
: in the States, but almost all of it applies.
: You will need a different customs form ( I
: didn't bother doing the form stuff at all !)
: & I would use "International Signed
: for", via the post office, to send the
: watch from the UK.

: Contrary to what I just posted in the previous
: post, when the watch comes back to you , you
: WILL be liable for some VAT ( since
: Switzerland is not in the EU :-( ) . It will
: however be sent with an invoice, so you will
: only pay on the value of the work done &
: not the value of the watch.

: Here's a link to a post about a watch that I
: recently had restored by Omega

: I know your watch doesn't need cosmetic work,
: but this is what they can do.

: I hope this helps.

: Steve

Thanks for a great reply. I recently bought a vintage Connie much like Bill's (see earlier thread on this page)
I now know what to do to get her running like new.
Great links ! Thanks again.
