    Received an Email from Marcus; Watchco with sad news...... due to the extensive staff attendance to all questions in ebay listings, they decided to quit that business part. now it will be a lot more difficult for Omega Guys, to find spare parts..... and the massive Omega price rise lately does not make things easier in the future. so, here it is:

    Hi Joachim,
    How are you ?
    We are having a change in direction into retail away from EBay. If any of your friends and OF members would like Omega material at a good discount, let them know to contact me.

    I can offer at least a 30% discount on what we have on eBay. Mush more discount in many cases.

    Prices will in most cases be discounted below the pre - price rises from Swatch of the 1st of May.

    Our listings are on abouttime-ch on eBay.

    Anybody can email me at

    [email protected]

    Kind regards

    Marcus

    time to stock up, Guys ! kind regards. achim

    I remember not so long ago when I could just walk into Watchco at lunch time and pick up my parts.
    Even when they moved to NZ they were still my go to for Omega bits, but then I had to pay postage and wait, it wasn't quite the same.

    They used to have a website, but it was never up to date. Just too much stock i guess. More info at this thread..

    I used to email Robert, now it's Giverny in NZ.

    I'm afraid that this thread is almost 2 years old and that a great source has passed on.
    They are no longer registered on ebay, afaik, and the website doesn't show much left.

    It used to take an hour to browse their nos stuff.

    I bought a very nice "watchco" Speedmaster Racing Japan 2004 from Marcus last year. I wish he was still doing the Seamaster 300s, as I missed the boat there C090B517-8149-4259-9AE6-E2FF60112770.jpeg

    I talked to Marcus like a month ago and he is no longer having any Seamaster 300 parts in stock.
    Also afaik Omega itself has now run out of the service cases and new batch is being now in quality check.
