Lloyd90 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I need to get my Omega Seamaster 300 serviced and recalibrated I think, as it is losing time. Wondering if anyone can recommend where to get it done and a rough cost? Do you just post it off insured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Interested in this also, I have had my Planet Ocean for 13 years and its never been serviced although it runs absolutely perfectly. Last time I looked it was eye wateringly expensive for a coaxial chronometer at about 400 quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog1408 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 The omega service centre is in Southampton, if you pop into a local omega dealer they will send it off for you (about £15 for them to do it,) but it's then on their insurance and responsibility. if you don't want to pay authorised dealer rates, use an independent watch guy like for example Genesis watches. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesefiend Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Watchworks in Bristol are very highly regarded - I know a couple of people that don’t/won’t use anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumfelter Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I was at a magic show and the magician wrapped my breitling in a handkerchief and hit it repeatedly with a hammer, I was horrified and feared the worst but I needn't have worried as when he unwrapped the hanky to my surprise my watch was intact and as an added bonus it's now more accurate than before. I'm not connected to the magician and cannot recommend him as I've forgotten his name but attending a magic show could work out considerably cheaper than a watch repair man.
