    Hello all!
    I need your help: I'm looking for a reputable watchmaker in the area of Biel/Bienne or in Bern in Switzerland because I have some vintage Omegas which need a well done service for a good price, if possible.
    As I live in Bern and work in Biel/Bienne (just 1.5 km away of the Omega factory), I'm looking for a reputable watchmaker in this area. Of course it can be in e.g. Solothurn or Neuchâtel as well. The watchmaker should preferably be specialised on vintage Omegas. Do you have any recommandations and/or experiences?

    I was at 'Uhr____en' in Bern, but the price for a service of a Constellation is pretty much the same as if I would bring it to Omega...
    I also brought a watch to Sch____er in Bern, but the watchmaker shook the watch like a pair of maracas in order to find out if it is a bumper or not so I had a bad feeling handing the watch over... :(

    Do you have any experiences and/or piece of advise about a watchmaker in the mentioned area in Switzerland?

    Also, if you know a brilliant watchmaker in Zurich / Lucern / ... please let me know. I'm grateful for any help right now! :thumbsup:

    Thanks for helping out!

    Edited the full names of the watchmakers as I have received recommandations. :thumbsup:

    Your looking for a watchmaker in Switzerland?

    Isn't that similar to trying to find a Catholic in Vatican City?

    You're right. But you need to find a good one, that is what makes it hard to find in both cases;)

    I hope it wasn't your new acquisition that he was shaking like a maraca.
