Hello,

It has been quite some time since I posted here. But I need some help. So I have a Omega Seamaster Bond SMP (2531.80). I have had it for 6 years now and just sent it to Omega in New Jersey. I got the estimate back and it is $884.04. $410 for the complete maintenance, $177 for a anti-reflective sapphire chrystal, and $222 for a new steel bezel (which it needs.)
Here is the thing, I do not remember a scratch in the Sapphire crystal, which they say there is one, so that is a repair I was not expecting. In the comments they also said there were scratches on the hands......but how? They were comepletely encased, so how did they get scratched?
But, now I am getting off topic. When I bought the watch, I purchased it from a authorized dealer and bought the watch for $1300. It was a watch priced at $2000 at the time. I love my watch. But is it worth it to spend $800 wben I purchased it new for $1300?
The dealer I purchased it from is no longer an Omega dealer. So, does anyone know an authorized dealer where I can get the current 300 M Chronometer Co-Axial (2500 movement) reference # 2220.80.00 at a discounted rate similar to my original purchase price? Or a Planet Ocean Big Size for a good price?

Please let me know. As much as I love my watch, if I could upgrade for a little more money, then I might do that. I am looking for an Authorized Dealer.

Again the two models I would consider are:

Omega Seamaster 300 M Chronometer SMP Ref# 2220.80 (Caliber 2500 Co-Axial)
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Big Size Ref# 2200.50 (Caliber 2500 Co-Axial)

Thanks Guys!!
