Hi, all. Newbie here. I have a vintage Omega ladies' watch that belonged to my mother. It is circa 1970. It has a 650 17 jewel manual wind movement. The movement was replaced by Omega about 15 years ago at a fairly steep price ($500-600, I think). The watch has stopped working again - it appears to wind just fine, but it doesn't run. I have had it to 2 different watch repair places. One tried to fix it, but he said that he couldn't get it to stay running. The other just wanted to send it to Omega for a new movement at a cost of $1000. So - what do I do? Is there any way to replace the movement for a reasonable price? Why did this break again? It has been well maintained and not abused in any way. Thanks for any and all help.
Have you tried eBay? This might fit it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-movem...557?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337e529595Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network USD 199 + probably USD 100 for fitting it in watch maker, that would be far below USD 1000 quoted.
