I don't want to rain on your parade, but this subject is one that is interesting me because I have to send a watch to the US from GB.
It appears to me at present that any watch sent by any of the Royal Mail services is exempted from compensation if it gets lost. At the moment, I can't point to the exact paragraph in the Royal Mail's Terms and Conditions that provides this exemption, but I came across it the other day. I'll try to find it and add to this message shortly. Meantime I have emailed the Royal Mail for an answer on the point in so far as it relates to "International Signed For" mail.
The other dampener is as regards the prices quoted by Omega.ch for servicing watches. As I understand, them they are the minimum prices for straightforward servicing. Corroded movements may well push the price up. That is what STS do and it's not unreasonable. I imagine Omega.ch will be the same. Perhaps, just to depress you completely, Lorenzo (!), I should add that Omega.ch sent back my 1954 cal 352 Seamaster saying that they couldn't service it because they no longer had some of the necessary parts.
