Thanks very much - yes, if I were certain I wanted to sell, I wouldn't have it serviced first.
The question of using Omega parts was one of my biggest concerns about a service. I don't have a sense of how important this would actually be, or how to find a good watchmaker with a parts account.
I didn't want to say exactly what kind of watch this is, in case I gave the impression of trying to make a 'for sale' post by stealth. But to give some context, this was one of Omega's cheaper watches at the time, a simple 3-hand ETA-based automatic; it's not a super-collectible or valuable model.
