I have been following the forum for about a month or so looking for somewhere to have my Seamaster Aqua Terra repaired. I have 2 Quartz Constellations that also needed new batteries, an. d an old Omega Geneve manual wind that I was given a couple of years ago. I took them all to Brisbane on Wednesday and today I received a call from the repairer with a quote for the Seamaster. Apparently it needs the following: Required Overhaul Mainspring Reduction Wheel Driving Wheel Reverse Wheel Case Service Kit Water Pressure Test Cost (OPTIONAL) Glass $ 220 (OPTIONAL) Complimentary Polish Of The Case And $ 0 The Bracelet. Total estimate (Without Options) (incl. GST) $ 913 Does this seem reasonable? I don't think there was any problem with the glass. Thanks Les
Hi again, I thought I might have got some sort of response, even if it was go away. Any help out there?
Hi Les, You have posted your request in the FORUM NEWS & MEMBER SUPPORT forum so it may not have been noticed, it would have been better posted in "Vintage Omega Watches Help, Discussion and Advice". Now, in answer to your question, a question from me. Did you go to an Omega Boutique/Omega Service Centre or to an independent watchmaker? The price shown for a complete service by Omega for an AT is $830 (replacement parts would be extra). https://www.omegawatches.com/customer-service/interventions-and-prices/price-information Note that if it was an independent watchmaker, it's essential that he has an Omega Parts Account to be able to source any parts needed. Your AT is also a co-axial movement, so it requires a suitably qualified/trained and competent person to service it correctly. Cheers Jim
Hi Jim, I went to Brisbane Vintage Watches in Brisbane Arcade. They are Omega repairers. The price they quoted includes parts as per the quote, so I suppose I just have to suck it up. When I had a look at the Guarantee card I was surprised to see that I have had the watch for 13 years and it is my daily wearer, so has a reasonably hard life. Thank you for your response. Les
