Olga,

El reloj de pulsera no tiene que ser reparado por Omega. Podemos ayudarlo a encontrar un relojero privado que pueda ayudarlo. El relojero privado estará en los Estados Unidos, tal vez incluso en su estado.

El reloj de pulsera necesita un servicio completo y reparación.

Si hace dos cosas, podemos ayudarlo a encontrar un relojero privado:

(1) proporcione el estado en el que se encuentra el reloj (¿Texas?)

(2) proporcionar una fotografía de la esfera (la parte delantera del reloj)

Gracias

I don't know what you said here, but it makes more sense then this thread 😀

That was hysterical for so many reasons! I was once on a team comprised mainly of East Londoners. Our lone French colleague told me in confidence, that I was the only one he understood because I spoke “TV English”. I do think there is a language barrier here.

Ok. That is much better. Whatever happened in the past, forget it. Get your watch back as soon as you can. Don't let these Texans touch the movement. ( Sell Texas back to Mexico....) Judging by the movement screws heads, I'd not expect that the movement service needs parts. So, let the USA members here give you the best local watchmaker for the job. I'd expect the costs for a service only to be around half, what the Cowboys wanted. I'd somewhat expect the whatever " Vice President" come back to your Father and tell him, that After close inspection it can not be repaired ( too old, too worn, too something...) But from the Goodness of his heart he will buy it off him for the absolute maximum of $1900..... Get it back. Quickly.

I retired from a global job in a very large food company. This totally hits home.

Me too. OP's english seems to be poor on purpose.

O Olga

Let me look, and ask him

events:
Back in 2021 I was given a certain quotation for the service to be performed on my watch at Omega's Headquarters in Switzerland, which I approved. After some months went by and not hearing back from Omega, I reached out and found out the watch was already back in Dallas because the quotation given to me was off by $40 - which I was not informed of until l reached out to the dealership-, and it turned out my watch was held there for a couple of months without me being given notice. I approved the new budget and the watch was sent back to Omega's HQ. After some time, I was informed that they could not restore the watch's machinery (not repair as the watch was fully functional) and that the good news was that because of its uniqueness, the watch's worth had risen. At this point the watch was supposedly working fine.
I went to the Dallas dealership to pick up my watch only to find out that my watch, that had been working perfectly for the past 70 years, was now not functional after it was handled by Omega's experts.
