In my experience Royal Mail is thrust worthy.
Never had any issues what so ever with them.
Can I ask what service did you use @Northernman and how much did you pay?
Also, what kind of cover/ insurance do you get if the piece goes missing?
Holy thread resurrection!
Finally dropped my Omega off to John Senior at you guys' recommendation.
He opened up the case so I could get a pic- appears to have never been serviced since it was made in 1964!
Not surprising then that its running fast...
Will update when its back in a couple of weeks. I did ask him to give it a light polish- sacrilege to some Im sure, but I wanted it freshening up. The dial will be left alone, as will the original crown.
So excited to get it back, in the meantime if anyone has recommendations on where to get a strap with an Omega clasp/ buckle they would be more than welcome (16mm lug width). 馃榾
John Senior is taking on work again ? last I spoke with him not long ago he wasn't taking on any more work.
So the decision has been made to go with John, satisfied with everything Ive read about him.
Can I ask what other forum users would recommend doing re postage? I will be sending the watch to him, but collecting in person as by the time he's done the work Ill be in his neck of the woods anyway.
Is Royal Mail recorded/ special enough? Never sent anything worth a bit of money through the post before!
