Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3510.50 3220 movement required...

Hi guys, as the title says, I am after a Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3510.50 3220 movement. I dropped a reduced off with my watch maker and he said he cannot find parts for it so I will have to source another movement. Do these pop up for sale often?

Yes, thats my plan but when I went to collect the watch it was in pieces and 'not ready'. I also wanted to take it to omega and I got a quote and he indicated he was cheaper, thus why I went to him. When he gave me a quote it was $400 more.

yup, omega charge $1100AUD flat rate inc parts here in Australia. My watch maker wanted $1540.

1540 AUD is insane... go with Omega for peace of mind

Wtf. Is there any way you can have him assemble the watch so that you can take it to omega instead?

I wonder if Omega will accept a disassembled watch for service.

I dropped off two reduced that I picked up recently. I contacted omega first and I was quoted $1100 for a service including all parts each. However, I ran this by my watch maker and he indicated he could perform the services cheaper. I was stunned and confused when I got the first quote of $1540. I told him not to proceed with either service and indicated I would be collecting both watches. I went back two times and on both occasions one of the watches was not reassembled. I will try again next week, but yeah this is very fraustrating. Not a great intruduction into reduced either, they seem to have a lot of issues with pushers and water incursion. Both watches were bought off Japanese Yahoo and both sellers kept mum about quite a few issues.
