today i receive a quote to overhaul my 1945 vintage omega Turler. In the quote they want to replace the glass and the crown . My question is if I go a head with this will it affect the value of the watch and the desirability to a collector later in in life .

Thanks
Steve

 

Not as long as they replace them with the correct parts.

 

Thanks , the repair center is Swiss time services I would imagine they would uses genuine parts .

 

Really unsure the quote just says that the watch requires a new glass and crown total cost including the servise £390 good / bad

 

Just let them know, no polish, don't touch the
dial or hands, Omega parts only.
As a price guide, I pay $170 to overhaul a movement
like yours. Glass should be ~$40-60. , crown, $30-$50.

 

my thought are im happy to have it serviced I really want to keep it original I might go down the line of having the movment serviced then look at the crown and glass later .would that be ok to do ?

 

Got a price of £390 around $520 .....ouch that's a fair saving getting it services in the US .

 

I think some smaller reputable shops would charge less, if you look around. Here is one example: http://watchguy.co.uk/price-list/, but he probably has a long waiting list though.
