Hi Mike!

Thanks for the reply. After a few weeks from sendind my watch for a service estimate I finally got the call today. My jeweller explained that Omega will replace the crown (what is the crown exactly?) , waterproof seals and most importantly fix the mechanical precision of the watches timekeeping. The estimate is $495 with a 1 year warranty with Omega so Id have to keep my eye on it and make it doesnt mess up again. I told them to go ahead... its ashame to see my watch to work properly.

What do you think about the estimate?

Thanks,
John
