And I just got another watch back from them for warranty service. Write them a letter of the problem, what you expect done, model, serial number, watch and warranty card. Send it Registered Mail. Sample of my letter:

Dear Omega,

Please find enclosed my Omega Seamaster GMT model 2538.20.00, Movement Number 8010XXXX.
The purchase date was June 30, 2001. I have also included the Warranty Card.

I accidentally dropped the watch on its crown, and it is no longer operating. I understand this watch is not under warranty.
Please contact me with the cost of repairing this watch. I trust you will do the finest job of repair that can be accomplished.

Sincerely,

Keith Downing
