·Good morning from the midwest USA, OF.
I recently purchased my first vintage Seamaster from a group member here on OF. It runs decent, but since there was no service history available for the watch, I would like to get it serviced. Not looking to have any parts replaced, but just a typical service (cleaning?) My go to watchmaker is 12 months out on services for watches... which is insane. He's a two man shop, and they're really good, but I'd really like to not wait that long.
All three AD's in my area say they HAVE to send it back to Omega for service (in spite of having really great watchmakers in house that service other brands).
I don't want to send it back to Omega because I'd prefer to keep all of the original parts on the watch. Anyone out there have any suggestions for good US-based watchmakers who can service this? I don't even mind waiting half a year... or anything under a year since that's my current wait time with my guy. I'm in Ohio, for reference, but am willing to send anywhere in the US. Any help would be appreciated!
