Re: Serial Numbers and Service?
In Response To: Serial Numbers and Service? ()

: I own an authentic Seamaster with the serial
: numbers removed. I purchased it before I
: knew what to look for from a local shady
: dealer. The watch is about 3 years old. The
: watch came with the little sticker still
: attatched to the certified chronometer tag.
: I see a number on it and I was wondering if
: the serial number is anywhere in that mess
: of numbers? I was also told that there are
: probably still serail numbers on the inside
: of the watch. Is this true and who can open
: it to take a look with the ability to reseal
: it?

: The casue of my problem is that it looses time
: to an untolerable extent and is in need of
: service. Omega hasn't been helpfull on the
: phone and their representative wasn't very
: informed about their policy. I either a need
: serial number so that I can get it serviced
: by omega, or I need a trustworthy place,
: other than omega who can service it at a
: reasonable price. I have allready gotten
: prices quoted for service but, at those
: prices I might as well sell it on ebay.

: Has anyone with a grey market watch tried to
: get omega to service it? I was worried to
: try, becase I don't want to risk them
: "loosing" it or confiscating it. I
: don't see how they would have legal grounds
: to do this, but I still dont' wan to risk it
: ,regardless.

Without the serial number on the outside of the case I think your only option is to take it to a watchmaker to have it serviced.
