I’m after a bit of advice, if anyone can help.
When I took my wife’s La Grand Classique in for a battery replacement recently, I was advised that the movement needed replacing (and that it might be better to get a new watch
) - the last time the battery was replaced there were no issues, other than the relatively short amount of time the battery had lasted.
At an OB today I was told that this is a common practice with quartz watches, Omega included, in that they need to change the movement every second battery replacement. This was explained by stating that the movements wear out, and that replacing them every few years roughly equates to the cost of servicing automatic and/or mechanical movements.
Is this advice correct?
