Omega factory service/repair

Hi, Im also from Sweden... According to the "condition recieved" is the watch slightly damaged, got dangerous dirt inside and so on... And considering that a new fine Omega cost 186.000 sek, does 20.000 sek sound as a bargin, if they really renovate (not just service) your watch for that very modest amount?!

A new 186.000 sek Omega...

One alternative is that you skip Omega and buy one of these 5 to 7000 sek quartz Tissot...

Or this 12500 sek Automatic Tissot

Or buy one of the ultra bargins I found, as this 1100sek Fossil

Or this 900 sek Invikta with Seiko movement...

Or this 445 sek WWOOR dress watch from China

Or all of these and two of the Tissot's - instead of repairing you old Omega!

It has sentimental value so I don’t mind spending money, it’s not about the money it’s the principal here 20k for what? The watch is work 10k SEK

I will most likely just buy the exact same watch from Chrono24 that has been recently serviced replace it and have 10k left for a PRX

They are just being greedy this has been recently serviced for 7k😂

Just a quick question, why are you quoting the price of a Seamaster proffesional when he is asking for the pricepoint of a Geneve F300Hz?

Yes 20.000 sek / 2.000 USD is not much compared to the price of that Seamaster however compared to the Geneve it is quite a sum. As i can see, most Geneve F300Hz i can find used are around 12.000 sek and if you go by that standard 20.000 sek to repair it is a lot of money and it would be a lot cheaper to replace it.

Or have i overlooked something? I'm no expert when it comes to Omega.

What he said

Not even sure why your mentioned 400kr Chinese watch’s on a thread about repairing an omega

I was just explianing why that sum might be very resonable for Omega... Especially when everyting in life is realtive...

Renovations are normally very expensive and it might be clearly cheaper to buy another one, that is in a much better condition and Omega, does naturally not calculate on the watch worth!

If they don't lie in the description, do Your watch need an expensive renovation, not just a simple service... And I think 7000 sek is very expensive for a service!

You did not write in the first post that the watch has sentimental value...

So I simply tried to be helpful and tip about some interesting alternatives!

It's a 50 year old watch in need of major work. You got a quote for repair/restoration, not replacement value.

Sounds about right to me.

Those kind of maintenance costs are part of the reason I sold a Rolex OP and Tudor Pelagos. The juice didn't seem worth the squeeze to me when there's so many great and less expensive to service alternatives.

Because the watch has sentimental value, I would replace the movement myself and skip the expensive major Omega service center overhaul which in reality is probably the equivalent of just replacing the movement anyway.

Isn't the problem that the OP or anyone else can't get the parts needed thus enabling Omega to charge whatever they want? Even if you were to buy a donor movement, the movement will be old and may not have what the OP needs.
