I requested an extract from the local boutique a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back so Im just trying to find out how long the process takes for a 50yo watch.

 

If you do a site search of the vintage Omega board, you'll get your answer in hundreds of threads.

 

many weeks.

 

5-8 weeks has been the expected range with the 5 extracts I've ordered

 

I ordered mine in July this year ands it took about 4 weeks

 

Depends on who's signing it... Some came in 3 days (especially when they were cheaper), some in a month (since 2017).
Most of the extracts are made within 2-3 days if nothing special about the archives. But it takes sometimes a few weeks to have it signed !!
I ordered one on August 7th, it was printed on 9th, (signed) shipped on 30th and I got it this morning.

 

Just wondering, where do the extracts come from and do customs tax them?

EDIT: I meant, do all the extracts come from Bienne or could they come from other places as well.

 

Check your order/confirmation invoice - It should state, "The extract you ordered will be sent within six weeks to the address you provided"

 

Hopefully someone can push me in the right direction. I want to order an Extract, I was on the Omega website, found the link to order but the page gave me an "not found" error. Is there a different way to order now? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU! Your link worked for me! I swear it didn't earlier today. Maybe it was down for a web-master maintenance. Anyway, thanks. (I'm in the US)

 

Then you can see you need to go to an Omega Boutiqe to order one.

 

I see that. Back to square one. The OB hasn't provided results. I'll try that again. Thanks again.
