Another Happy Day...

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. Regards, Damon
