I’ve got a Seamaster that I had serviced by an independent watch guy. After a few years the crown doesn’t screw all the way in but otherwise ran fine (I haven’t worn the watch in three years). I want to send the watch to Omega to have it serviced/repaired. Does Omega penalize you with additional charges if they see the watch was serviced by an independent watch guy?

What kind of Cuban sandwich would go well with a Cuban cigar?

Considering Omega sells parts to qualified independent watchmakers (providing them brand specific training also), it would seem counterproductive to also penalize people for using them.
They simply service it and replace what needs replacing, just as an independent would do. So you can send it to Omega, but in the end there's no specific reason to.

Thanks Al. I thought Omega (Swatch Group) wasn't selling parts to independent watch makers anymore. How can I verify a watch makers certifications or qualifications other than reviews and word of mouth?
