As others have said, that quoted price is far too high for a standard service. According to Omega’s website:
https://www.omegawatches.com/custom...s-and-prices/main-steps-of-a-complete-service
The price for a steel mechanical watch is only $550, and it will come with a 2-year warranty.
Are there other items being replaced (dials, bezels, crystal, bracelet)? If so, these can jack up the price and generally none of these HAVE to be replaced. Is this a local watchmaker giving you this repair quote? Or is it a jeweler store with no onsite watchmaker? If the latter, I’ve heard stories of jewelers sending the watch to Omega for the repair, then charging extra for their “handling”. If this is the case, that’s a lot of “handling” fees.
In any case, it’s not that complicated to send the watch to an Omega service center directly and cut out the middleman.
