·I have a Speedmaster that I would like cleaned up but don't want a service. Just want Omega to restore the factory finish to the case and bracelet. Does Omega do just that by itself?
Will Omega restore factory case finish?

··This Space for RentThey will refinish the case for you. Please note this removes case material, so lugs will be thinner, etc. They do not add material and then finish to original dimensions.

··This Space for RentIt would resharpen the lines. I can't answer the other part of your question. Was it recently serviced?

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerNot sure they have ever offered just a case refinish. I believe they once offered a "re-seal" service, which was basically replacing all the parts on the case for water resistance, and that included refinishing...to refinish properly the pushers need to be removed so that side of the case can get a proper straight grain finish applied.
Best bet is to contact them, but my guess is no they won't just do a refinish.

··This Space for RentThe Omega web site does not indicate any type of service that does not include a movement service. As Archer said, it would be best to contact them.
There are some watchmakers on OF who refinish cases, so there are some none-Omega options.

··Oooo subtitles!Where in the world are you? If UK then Omega Authorised set up Swiss Time Services offer exactly this, and also laser welding to fill dents which would otherswise mean too much material is removed. If not UK, can't help you.
ps a good refinish won't be cheap.
A crap one may be.

·If it's not vintage, perhaps a new case is a better choice? Not inexpensive, though.

·Yes they do that , they call that a partial service and charge around 250$, you have to be clear at the order:
refinish or repolish writing to the service order and you are fine.
Both of them take some “material” but the refinish fit well for a case that was never or slight polished or refinished just to get the look and feel of the new keeping ( heavy scratch or dings) .
