Omega service

[jonka]

Just got a quote for a service on my seamaster
A whopping £ 738.60 that seems a bit steep to me or am I out of touch

Yep I wouldn’t bother to be honest, that’s ridiculous

[Baggie austin]

Loads of omega certified places that will do it for much less than that.

I guess that must be a Chronograph model. I was quoted £450 a few months ago for a non-chrono and also got a 10% discount. They are expensive but the watch genuinely comes back like new and I can just about justify it. Plus it’s a reliable setup.

This is the price list on the omega website https://www.omegawatches.com/en-gb/customer-servic...

I had my Planet ocean done earlier in the year and it came back looking like new. I was amazed.

My Seamaster is over 10 years old, never been serviced.
I wouldn’t pay that much TBH, the watch was only £1400 new back then..

Automatic?

Anyway... helpful first post

[James6112]

Automatic yes. The Omega price list isn’t so bad though TBH.
I don’t have any marks on the case/strap etc. Do they just do a mechanical service I wonder?
Perhaps I should get that done as keeping it forever.

I had my sea master done at Swiss Time Services , decent service and was less than £400 iirc . It’s only has the one service in 20 years .

It is expensive. Just paid £630 for full service inc. new main spring for my Speedmaster. There are some cheaper options than Omega’s recommended pricing if you shop around - some with mixed reviews. I decided to pay the full whack with an Omega authorised repair place - Perri Watch Repairs - just got a good feel from the owner and other reviews, plus its minutes from my work so easy to drop off/collect. Bit painful cost wise just to have your watch working but as others have said it is meant to come back looking like new. The Speedy has gone up quite a bit in value since I bought it so that helped with the man maths.

If you live in London there is a great little shop in Burlington Arcade where I service my 60 year old Omega Seamaster, SOMLO. They have always been reliable and don’t charge an outrageous amount.

I think I used this post as a recommendation. So pleased with his work on a couple of repairs to my g/f’s omega. Brilliant service.

I’ve just been quoted over £450 for service and battery for the good ladies quartz omega and a time scale of nearly 4 month so I’ll be giving this company a try.

Here is a quartz seamaster. He replaced the escape valve and refurbished the strap. Totally brilliant service (communication, politeness, efficiency and price).

Glad my recommendation worked out. I agree everything you have said. He has advised me to have the next service with Omega as he can’t do the day button on my Speedmaster triple date.

Genesis are based in my local town but I have absolutely no idea where!
