Any other watch shops that repairs Omega watch at reasonable price?

[Speedmaster1979]

Hi all "oldbirds"

My 4 years old Speedmaster has broke down.Wanted to adjust the date but can't turn the click(have clicking sound but date just won't move,can feel that it is stuck).Tried to adjust the time to 12am to make the date jump but still the same.Then finally watch also stop,damn sway!

Brought my watch to Ion as heard from the service centre at Wheelock that they are under the same management and if i do not want to wait long to check in my watch which I waited for few hours 3 years ago.Ion will be the best place.

Explained the fault to the sales staff and i was advised that it could be the movement is spoilt as it is a chrono and this problem is common and also advised me to go for a full servicing.When i asked for the price for servicing as since i bought this watch 4 years ago,i did not do any servicing at all.

When she quoted me the price,i nearly faint.Was quoted $730 onwards due to metal strap(puzzled by this remarks)If strap is not metal,it will be $670 onwards

I was thinking to myself i bought my watch close to $3k at that time and a single servicing cost that much!!! And the servcing will take 2 months to complete somemore,really crazy price leh!

Though they could not access the cost of repair and problem at this moment of time,i was also thinking of alternatives that if the repair cost is high,i will not do the repair with them and therefore wanted to seek help if anyone knows good & trustworthy shops that offer repairs and servicing at reasonable price so that I can check them out???

Hope to have some help here

Sorry to hear abt ur watch.

Its an Omega and its a chronograph and hence, the price for servicing will be higher. I think the metal bracelet will be sent for polishing and hence they charge more. The good thing is if u send them for servicing, they will give a 2 yr guarantee after the servicing.

However, u are right, there are cheaper (not sure if better =p) alternatives.
JW watch (http://www.jwwatch.com/) offers servicing for omegas and other high end watches.

PS: I dont own any omega or ex watches (my most ex watch is a Royal Orient =(
But this is the information i gathered when reading thru some of the seniors advice here. I bet they have better lobangs and advice.

Hi all bros & sis,

First of all, i want to say a BIG thank you for all the help & advises rendered to me. This is indeed a very useful & helpful forum for watch lovers

I just received a call from Omega this late afternoon.I was simply told that the movement of my watch is not working and power reserve is limited and so,it is time my watch needs a full servicing.

Asked how much will that cost me?She replied me that Sir,it will be $760.00 exclude GST!!!

So I said it is ok,i am not going for it,she then replied,it is ok then,Sir,you can come & collect your watch anytime then,bye!

Think i will go check these few lobangs & recommendations out!!!
