Omega Seamaster Calender cal.353 So far it looks quite good. Heard these are expensive to service!? Excuse the pictures. I will take some better ones when I get round to it!
I may have to sell some other watches to fund it ! At the moment it's ticking away..*fingers crossed* might get a watch guy to look it over..
My local guy (in Chicago) charges about half that and does very nice work. Erratic turnaround times, though.
That's why the cost of the service has to be taken into account when pricing out a watch - these aren't cheap. I would say $200 is about right for a time only vintage omega though some of the more established watch repair facilities will charge double that and omega in bienne will charge triple that or more.
I've heard that these 'bumpers' are more difficult or specialised pieces to service. Is that true? The watch seems to be running and keeping good time for the moment. I just need to know for the future..
I was almost tempted to buy a universal Genève chronograph recently...would you talk me out of it ?! It had a stunning patina on the dial..
To service a chronograph, it is $400-500 and up with a good independent and well over $1000 at the factory.
I've never considered Zenith but they really are beautiful and unusual pieces..bet they look good on the wrist!
No kidding! Complications were probably named thusly by the watchmaker that had to service them. Not necessarily. It depends on the watchmaker really. Some don't like them; others have no problems.
Not sure exactly what you are asking here. Numerous people here have a date at six, 2627 or 2757 Seamaster and they are not uncommon on eBay with that dial. Here is mine but there are others pictured on the forum if you do a search.
I meant with the numbers ie hour markers 12, 2,4,8,10.. I can't find one in a search. However I have found them to be common in general.
