    Hello, I'm in need of some pins and tubes for my 2225.80.00 seamaster and was wondering where they can be obtained at a reasonable cost. £15 for one pin and two tubes seems excessive to me.

    Can you help?
    Thanks.

    Order directly from Omega. Always the lowest cost.

    If you have an OB near you, they will likely give you some free of charge. If not, they may ship it to you. For sure in the US, they are very helpful. My guess is that all corporate owned OBs are directed to provided similar levels of service.

    An OB resized the bracelet on my 2298.80 and replaced some pins and tubes free of charge. I had lost some tubes and a few pins were wonky.

    I have been to visit my local dealer, all parts will be chargeable and they are not inexpensive.

    These parts are very inexpensive, so if your dealer is charging you a lot, they are gouging you. Pins and tubes are $2 each...

    Call the closest Omega service center, and ask them if you can buy some directly.

    The parts ought to be very cheap considering what they are but I can't find cheaper. I will call the service centre tomorrow that serviced another Omega I have and see if they will let me have some. Thanks for the suggestion.

    That guy has a site where he overcharges for every item he has. So is your “dealer”. I’d try to find another.
