·Hi all! ive recently inherited a Omega Constellation 1252.10.00 Quartz. Not necessarily my type but has sentimental value.
It was working fine but the time was an hour behind. I went to pull the crown out and change the time … to my astonishment the watch didn’t start anymore.
Took it to omega London,UK who said it should get the battery changed… it wasn’t skipping seconds and I know the battery was changed last year by an independent.
Anyways they’ve asked for £190.00 and say it will take 6-7 weeks. After speaking to a few jewellers that wouldn’t touch Omega, I agreed. Having worked for the Swatch group and knowing that the free batteries they put into Swatch are the same as the Omega was a pinch because (in my opinion) 190.00 isn’t justified for a simple battery change.
My question is : do we really believe it’ll take 7 weeks to change? I told the vendor that I think I didn’t push the crown back properly but he assured me it would be the battery.
so far I can see :
Watch dropped off 21/02/2022 Complete
Watch received : 24/02/2022 Complete
Technical Diagnostic 25/02/2022 (still in progress to this date 08/03/2022).
i guess im impatient to have it
thanks!
