Dear Omega enthusiasts,

Can anyone recommend a place where to service some vintage omegas in France(cal 600s ans 550s)? Everywhere I take them they either want to send it to omega or demand 800€ for servicing one piece (they all work proprely btw)..

So I m looking for an independent watchmaker; if you guys know someone reputable, please share.

Have an excellent day/evening everybody!

I've heard great things about Atelier Alain Delépine in Amboise. Many serious collectors only swear by him to service their vintage Speedmaster chronographs, so I assume he should be just as good for other movements. And the fact that he is accredited by Omega certainly doesn't hurt.

These guys were very reasonable when replacing the balance staff on my 50s longines.

I'd recommend him too. He is a great guy and passionate about what he's doing. He also takes his time to get everything right (like putting the Omega logo in the right position on the crystal).

@SpeedTar You’re probably going to have to make some room in your message box for all the incoming messages soon to be on their way! 😁
Where are you located in France?

I can also advise Christophe Gosteaux in the north of France http://www.atelier-horloger.fr/
He serviced a vintage chronograph for me, very pro and also sends pictures at every stage of the servicing.

you can ask him for anything in vintage Omega, he has worked with them for several years and has access to NOS parts that others watchmakers cannot have !
