Hello, if you were happy with the current crystal, simply tell them not to replace it. You might want to ask them where the scratch is and how visible is it. I'd also question them about the hands. Scratched where? Perhaps they scratched them during removal?? Don't be afraid to question them. What have you got to lose? $410 is an expected estimate for a complete clean/oil/adjust although I know it may seem excessive to many. You do indicate the bezel needs replacement so while a $632 total is not a small sum of money, six years between service is pretty good. Talk to the service center. The watch is worth keeping! [/blue
: 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!!
