: Just a few thoughts Steve. I'm far from an expert and have never
: sent anything to Bienne. I use the Atlanta Service Center.
: Just sending it halfway round the world comes with risks. The
: likelihood of it getting lost, damaged or stolen goes up with
: the
: distance and length in transit. Its a common watch that is still
: being manufactured and the spares are readily available almost
: anywhere with a competent watchmaker. For simple things and watches
: other than Omega, I use my watchmaker in Charleston,SC
: and for the Omegas I use the service center and have had no
: problems at all. It was also cheaper than the quoted price for
: and overhaul in Bienne. Add in shipping and insurance and it was
: much cheaper. If I had a rare Omega that needed an entire
: restoration, then Bienne would be an option, but not on a fairly
: common watch.
: I'd do what I felt comfortable with but check out other options.
: Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the info Jim, it's looking like I'll send it to Womble since I've been reading mostly good things about them. Sounds like the choice is Womble on the Eastcoast and Nesbit's on the Leftcoast. Do you know if Womble has a website? I haven't been able to find one.
