Hey guys. I have a 1920’s omega pocket watch in need of a service. I’m struggling to find someone who I can trust to send it off to. Threw some pics up for your pleasure. Help anyone?

 

So, I think you might be asking us to provide you with references of someone near you so you don’t have to send the watch, and whom you feel you can trust, but you don’t say where you are! You make it sound as though you have considered some repair people, and have decided they are not trustworthy! Kinda hard for us to help you with suggestions, don’t you think?

 

I suppose I should provide more info.
I’m in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I actually prefer to send the item off in the mail.

I’ve already had the item looked at by LAWatchworks and reached out to Tim Mackrain, but his focus is on wrist watches. LAWatchworks wouldn’t work on it because the lever that operates/engages the winding and setting mechanism is broken and attempting to source a replacement would be very difficult/not available.


Thanks!

My 'limited' knowledge of these movements (from the Swiss) is that (as opposed to American Made pocket watch Movements) parts are not
interchangeable, therefore to replace a part, they must be 'made' (fabricated) by the watch maker. this can be costly.
Eric should be able to advise you. good luck.
