Hi guys, just to celebrate the return of my 70’s built SM 200 (166.091) back from a complete service with Omega in Switzerland. Overall it took about 2 months from Quotation approval to receiving back, accompanied with a 24 months warranty. Not bad. Work seems to have been done meticulously, with a rebuild to the caliber (1002), without changing it’s original number. Case kind of been restored, without too much polish and looks extremely well. I’m a very happy customer and recommend taking this way via your own national Omega rep.

Omega doesn’t usually change any original numbers (serial numbers) during a service...

Unless they “trade-in” your complete caliber for convenience of speedy delivery. Yours for an already refurbished one. Known to be applied for example with old Speedy Reduced complete service, due to the complexity of the chronometer application. It’s a matter of mutual agreement of course.

Yes that is pretty standard practice with the Speedmaster reduced models. This is done whether the customer agrees or not, and most times they aren’t aware of it at all.

But this is a completely different situation for one primary reason...they do not have serial numbers on the movements. So again, Omega doesn’t change serial numbers on movements during service.

550 CHF plus both ways shipping (depending on your location)
That's not bad!
