Hi, I live in Abu Dhabi, UAE and recently purchased a 1958 Seamaster ref. 2846. Though running fine, I'd like to have the movement serviced. While there are a number of Omega boutiques locally, I'd prefer to go with an independent watchmaker. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Khoory and sons in Rolex tower have a service. They are Rolex dealers but their service department services Omega and other brands.

I would use them.

There is a good watchmaker in Dubai at timepieces360. Other people may recommend Momentum and they tend to work on more vintage pieces. Both have experienced watchmakers and I would definitely go through either of them before the boutique.

Thank you! Do you mean the one in Marina Mall (per Google Maps)? I’m not familiar with “Rolex Tower.” Thanks again!!

I know of one old guy in AD that is an independent and very old-school but he's got a ton of backlogs so you'd be waiting months.
I haven't had much lucks with the malls in AD. All they know are battery swaps.
I haven't explored much of Dubai because I was primarily based in AD

no, not the mall.

This is the Rolex building: 119 Sheikh Rashid bin
Saeed street.
