Thanks Derek,

Not too worried about it getting lost in post these days. I would probably take my chances on that. Pretty unlikely where a signature is required.

As for the pricing, the Omega site certainly reads as though replacing worn/damaged parts is part of the service and, unlike, STS they do post a tariff. I have emailed them to confirm this and to ask where to post it. I will let you know what they say. Does anyone else have experience of their pricing please?

Given that STS have the components, I suspect that Beinne should have them too. And they do quote for my movement on their service tariff which, as I say, is supposed to include replacing worn parts.

For what it is worth Switzerland is a VERY expensive place compared to the UK, so I would be surprised if they could do it cheaper.
