Seeking recommendations where to have my Speedmaster Professional (ref. 3572.50.00) repaired. Wound watch, ran about two hours and stopped. It now no longer winds to tight. I live in south central Virginia, closer to the larger cities of Greensboro/Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm not opposed to shipping the watch for repair to someone who specializes in manual Speedmaster movements. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

 

@Archer ?

 

Can't speak specifically as to a Speedy, but check on this thread:

Also, Schiffmans in Greensboro sells Omegas, but I have no experience with what they do for service.

Good luck, let us know what you find; one can never have too many good watch guys.

 

Any competent watchmaker in your area will be able to fit a new mainspring , which from your description is what is needed.

 

Just FYI, fitting a new mainspring pretty much requires full disassembly, so at that point its a full service...

This crew in North Dakota specializes in Omegas.

 

DO NOT send it to Specialty Watch Repair aka Randolph Ward in Raleigh.

A butcher.

 

Could you elaborate?

 

Obviously this is a question more appropriate for a PM.

 

I guess its not that obvious to me. If someone posts that someone is not reputable or does work that is not up to par, I would think everyone reading the forum would like some more info.
Same goes if someones work is above and beyond-its how we learn from one another.
