·I have had my Seamaster Bond for over 22 years, my first decent watch, it has the 1538 quartz movement (I think) the negative battery gold 'leaf' terminal has detached and I have bodged this for 2 battery changes but now cannot. My question is what options do I have for repair
1. Omega Service Centre seems it is £450 in the UK and they apparently change out most things including the movement I have read, my question is if Omega do it will my issue be addressed for the flat rate of £450 given they swop out movements etc? The watch is mint condition otherwise.
2. Is a third party repair viable installing a new negative terminal? Been told an ETA 255 461(2) could be fitted but think this would devalue the watch given it won't be stamped as an Omega movement?
Thanks.
