Bought this watch on an auction site just a month ago and decided to keep it so took it into service . Kudos to omega service as it came back like new .
Also the amount of parts replaced is amazing 😂
Tells me something about my buying skills

If it's not too much trouble, can you lay out the parts they returned and take a couple of photos? That is a massive number of parts, even by Omega's standards. Watch looks great though.

Amazing - they installed a new movement. Makes me wonder if it had water damage inside...

That’s correct the analysis said the movement contained traces of oxidation , I’m a complete novice ofcourse but looking at the parts they don’t seem too bad

Wow, you weren't kidding, that was alot of parts replaced. Just curious, were some of these parts charged to the bill and in addition to the standard price listed on their website for this watch (mechanical, non-chrono, non-precious metals), or were all of these replacement parts included in the flat rate Omega has posted on their website? https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/customer-service/interventions-and-prices/price-information
Haha I know right . Bracelet clasp , glass , bezel , dial were separate the rest was a flat rate

I think they just gave you a new movement and filed a bag with random parts from the parts bin.

Joke aside, I hope this didn't cost more than a new watch.

I think all in all the watch + servicing cost me around 3500 eur

So yes a pretty penny but I’m not devestated because I really don’t like the newer models tbh too big and too thick

It should be the original serial number. There are 2 main parts that are not included in the returned parts. One is the barrel bridge and the other is the balance cock. The serial numbers used to be on the barrel bridge on the earlier 1120's, but it was switched to the balance cock eventually.

So if the movement was originally COSC certified in '02 and now this watch has been gotten a new movement, is there a new certificate or just the previous one available?

This movement would have been rebuilt with spare parts, so it's "the same" movement.

Enjoy!

What part of the world are you located in? It's amazing that you got a complete service with replaced parts by Omega in one month unless I'm reading it wrong.
