From what I know, all OMEGAs go back to the Omega serice center now. Where previously they had gone to authorized service centers. My view on this is: Pressure test it at the dealer every 3-5 years. When the seal fails, have it overhauled unless there is a change in its timekeeping ability. If the seal is good, your movement should remain contaminent free.
