: Hi Fellow Omega Lovers, Today I stopped in at an authorized
: Omega dealer in my area to ask about the cost of changing
: my battery in my Seamaster Pro when it goes out. And to my
: surprise, he told me that they will do it for $20!!! Along
: with pressure testing and gasket re-sealing or
: re-placement. I couldn't believe it, I have been told by
: other watchmakers and dealers prices between $75 on up to
: $150. He also told me that if I ever need to have my auto
: version fixed, that they can do it on site except of a few
: things since Omega will not ship those parts to them and
: want to do that kind of work at the factory. Since I bought
: the quartz version of this watch, I have been afraid that
: it will cost me some money to have the battery and gaskets
: changed but now I'm glad that I have "Shopped
: Around" to find the best price out there. Just wanted
: to share my good news.
That is good news. I wonder, do Omega publish a tariff of recommended service prices for such things? Or is it left completely up to the dealer what he charges?
