Just last week I collected my Longines admiral from the 70s, an eBay bargain which I then went and cracked the acrylic crystal on bending the hands in the process and stopping the movement. I bit the bullet and sent it to Longines asking that they fixed, cleaned it, kept the blue tritium dial and gave it a light polish as it looked like the case and bracelet had been kept in a bag of stones. They have done exactly as I asked except for the case which looks like new, am I bothered..no it looks crisp and factory fresh like it has been done as a labour of love, all for just over 200 English, I'm pleased as punch as we say over here 😁

I have a two tone, speedmaster automatic , Marui with albino dial that I just got it back from service. I took it into my local Omega boutique in person. Given the complexity of the modular chronograph movement I didn’t want to entrust it to anyone else but Omega. I gave specific instructions not to polish and just to do a mechanical service. They were very accommodating and even called to get permission to do some dial work; replacing hands and lume. I was extremely happy with the results. The cost was $900 and while expensive, the value of this watch keeps going up and having the peace of mind that comes from a competent service was well worth it.

I have an Omega Railmaster Chronograph 2812.52.37 that I purchased brand new in 2005. I have never gotten the watch serviced. About a month ago the top right pusher finally popped and fell off. The stop watch function still works though without the pusher. I just start it with my finger nail and works fine. I contacted the Omega dealer in my area. They said replacing the pusher should be part of the $750 complete overhaul service. I guess I’m pretty happy that my first issue happened 17 years into ownership. I hope I am as happy as the owner of this video when I get my watch back.

I had several Omegas done by Omega Switzerland; a Seamaster from 1963 (my father got it from his father when I was born!) with waterdamage, and a Speedmaster Pro from about 1971 which was in a horrible state (the previous owner worked in the concrete business (at least from the state of the watch) and had been his daily beater. The Seamaster was fixed 100%, but they had not changed the dial, as there was a note saying that it was not damaged, and had a beautiful patina. About 20 parts was replaced. The cost of the restauration was about two times the actual value of the finished watch.... The Speedmaster Pro was polished and fixed again 100%, and appeared as new. About 8 parts was replaced. I bought this at an auction for about USD200, mostly due to the state of the watch and bad description (so it was hard to understand what watch it really was) My conclusion is that Omega Switzerland will restore their old watches with respect and quality work.

Btw, I held my breath as you turned the date while the time was a 10, apparently before circling past the midnight. Also watchmakers advise to wind the watch before changing the time.

I have a MkIl Speedmaster, circa 1972, that had been severely damaged after being left by mistake in the bilge of a boat. Note: just because it says “waterproof” leave that to the submariners. The local Omega dealer sent it back to the factory to see if it was repairable. It came back wrapped in plastic with a service #. They replaced the dial, crown, hands, crystal, back, pushers... can’t believe some of the movement wasn’t replaced but none were returned. It looked like new although the band still had a lot of stretch. The cost was $1650.00, about 4x the original cost when I bought it new. Vintage watches are not cheap to repair but a pleasure to own.

The problem with OMEGA in any other luxury watchmaker is that when you send a Watch in for service, they want it to look as new as possible when it is returned so even if you love the dial, they will want to change it.

Omega is slow. If you send it to them, be aware it will be gone for a minimum of 2 months. At 6 seconds, me personally, I’d just use it until it had an issue. I’d also find a local watchmaker with a history of working on Omega who had an Omega parts account & have them service it. My friend Richard (who owned a few watches I’ve featured on the channel) is one and his (and others) turnaround time is much much quicker. A good watchmaker would only need a week or two at most & being local, you can drop in tho check on the watch anytime. With Omega, that’s just not an option. Hope that helps 👍 Congratulations on the SMP! Fantastic watches!

@@SpacebarIsTaken are you asking if Omega will ever work on a watch after an independent has? If so, yes. However if it’s under Omega warranty, sending it to anyone other than Omega will void that warranty. That’s the only thing to consider. A certified watchmaker with Omega experience will do it as well & quicker (and in some cases, cheaper). Yes. I would not concern myself with time loss or gain that you cannot measure without a timegrapher. The greater concern I would have if it is a vintage piece, i.e. 10 years or more, is it water resistance. Even though it’s a dive watch that is good for 300 m, it may not have much water resistance if the seals have never been changed and for that reason, if you plan on taking it in the water, I would get it serviced first with all new seals just to make sure you don’t end up with a bigger problem if you do take it in the water. Having said that, I don’t actually use any of my dive watches in the water. I usually just use a Gshock so in my case, blown seals are not really an issue or really much of a concern unless I were to get stuck in a flooding thunderstorm. Then I think about it. Lol👍

I requested a service dial (still have the original if I ever want to re-install) but I was definitely charged for the service dial, bezel & I work for a company that was an Omega authorized retailer so if anyone could have gotten a freebie, I would have hoped their dealers could have. So I’d say, no. Don’t hound in inclusions to service in price beyond movement parts.

Nice watch, I sent my Megasonic 750hz to Omega and they just sent it back. They wouldn’t even clean it up inside, very disappointing.

They said they didn’t have spare parts for it, which I expected but they could have at least cleaned it up and oiled it. I have a couple of vintage Seamasters, a Genève and a dynamic and it’s put me off sending anything else to them.

paul smith that is weird. Still sorry you had to wait for literally nothing. This was my first service from Omega and while I was very happy with the outcome, I’m not going to say I wasn’t super nervous. (Also, just noticing now that I’m replying from my other channel. Oops!)

Everything is included except the new dial face & bezel that I asked them to change. Had I not asked for those, service would have included cleaning the original dial & polishing the original bezel (both of which I still have. They sent all removed parts back to you as well)

Stat sounds about right for a dial replacement. I still have my original and in hindsight probably would have had them just clean the waterspotting off but what’s don’t is done I suppose.

@@WristwatchAddiction yeah, here in Spain I gave to service an automatic-not-mark, calibre 1045, model 176.0015 and it was 800€ to let it brand new, in about 4 months, two year warranty. Excelent. After, I did the same with a mark IV 1040, Lemania 1340, and at first it was 2500€, they low after the cost to 1250, and finally the price of restoring to shiny new was 800€, all included. All this antique timepieces are serviced in Biel, Switzerland and they can make every single fourniture of all Omegas. I love this way.

The dial was fine for years. The dial change was due to damage that I caused to it. Also, the replacement dial was only like $159 my price so not sure what you are on about here. The service interval is the same for any vintage omega. I had the dial & bezel updated during a regular service that any Omega from that era would need after years of ownership. 🤷♂️

As I work for an Omega dealer I can’t disclose my price but standard Omega service is generally $750. And yes. Unlike some companies, as long as all parts are genuine and belong to the watch, Omega will fully service a purchased pre-owned piece for a fee. Good question 👍

I use to restore old vintage guitars, fenders or gibsonds and so... the "vintage" value is no worth but subjective, what is called "patina" wich is a fenomenon on old metals, is a degradation, no more, no less. As good restorer, Omega turns an old timepiece into a NOS, (New Old Stock) machine, as if it were in its case until now. Logically, it increases substancially the value of the piece, whatever a Gibson or a JLC...

@WristwatchAddiction
4 жыл бұрын
Haha! You unfortunately may not like my upcoming upload then 😂 I’m actually going to address the reason I like super cheap natos. Scheduled release for tomorrow 🤷♂️ I’ve lost multiple watches off overlooks rock climbing & mountain biking while on rubber or steel due to springbar failure over many years. Natos help to prevent loss due to a failing springbar. Since switching to natos I have not lost a single piece even with a springbar loss! And yes, I actually use my watches for what they are intended for so they get filthy. None (other than my 1946 Omega) is treated with kid gloves. The watch head is easy to clean. Expensive natos stain. The answer, original expensive watch bracelet for work & dinners & the like, cheapest NATO I can find for muddy, wet, messy playtime. 👍 I will concede that if it’s just for the look of a NATO, you should totally spend the money and get the most comfortable and best looking NATO you could afford for an expensive piece. It just looks better. But that’s not my purpose. If it was, I’d have all Swatch Group & LVMH branded natos since that’s what I primarily sell. But I don’t want to just buy them to wear them. I buy them to ruin them. A good example of this is, I’ve gone through 6 of the black and white striped 18mm (SpeedyTuesday styled) natos on my 351.5O since last MTB/trail run season. Lol! Hope that they make more sense now. Thanks for watching.

At the time we were an Omega AD where I work so I just asked Omega directly but you would just request at the AD or Boutique you send it off through. If doing it remotely, you would just include anything you want done specifically in an accompanying email or letter along with the watch.
