·The first "quality" watch I ever bought was a new Speedmaster Broad Arrow (3851.20.12) in 2003. To my shame, it's not been serviced since 2004 (it was returned under warranty and I presume had a proper strip down if not a whole new movement). It's rarely worn now, since, well, Because. I've got other things to play with...
So, I'm thinking it's time to get the old bird lubed-up. Talking with a well known indie watchmaker, he said the best thing to do is to send it to Omega, as they will replace a load of stuff under the service that he would need to charge me for... which brings me to the salient questions that I'd love an opinion of...
1) If I take it into any OB, will I get the same level of service and cost? Any recommendations as to where I should take it (London area)?
2) Does anyone have experience of what I'd expect it to ££ and how long it should take?
thanks!
