where to service omega

Recently sent my 5 years old speed master to AC @ wheellock place for calibration, servicing & polishing. The estimated cost without parts replacement abt $700!! Say if JW can deliver the same scope of work for your watch... why not for them to handle. Only difference is Omega AC extend another 2 years warrenty after that.

anything happen within the two years, i think you have "made" your money back. once you go aftermarket service, the warranty stop once you have exchange money, but when you go thru authorised service centre, you are continually look after because they have to rectify any problem posed by their previous job.

because if they do not, you will complain and it will result in bad publicity

actually mechanical watches around same interval as long as 10yrs, but some need attention after 5yrs.

my dad never service his watch for >30yrs, and my mom also never service >22yrs.

of course YMMV

No diff wif brands. Wif owners,yes. I mean dpends how u wear it,like how frequent,on wat occasions,how u take care of it,etc. Te owner is te best judge. Example if u wear a watch like once a mth n only to an air-con office,doing office job,say for few hrs,then u may need to only svc betwn 6-8yrs once. Comparing anothr who wears 5times a wk,for 8-10hrs each time,leave te watch untouchd,uncleand aftr each wear. Then te svc'g may b betwn 2-4yrs. Tatz IMO only. I may b inaccurate.
