Omega servicing Essex

[Steve-D57]

My 2018 SMPC has started losing around 8 seconds a day so I’m assuming it’s due for a service. It was serviced by Omega under warranty in 2020 when it was losing time then. Does anyone have any personal recommendations of places in Essex that carry out reasonable priced servicing? Thanks.

I've had an Omega Seamaster Professional (JB) since 1997. It's my daily wearer. Always had it serviced and battery replaced etc by Swiss Time Services who are an official Omega service company and the UK largest watch servicing organisation in the UK. They are based in Hockley, Essex.

I have travelled there to deliver the watch but their base was difficult to find...their postcode did not work for me! Using the postal service is OK, something I've done several times.

Based on my experience, once they have your watch and your list of things to do, they will send you an estimate and require your acceptance before doing any work.

Not used them for servicing for have used Swiss Time Services for help with my strap and they were very good.

Helps that I am local so just popped in on the off chance. Very anonymous building though, so agree that it is easy to miss.

Yep, they're the people - in Hockley in Essex. They repaired my GP and are accredited for Omega.

Thanks. I had considered them but the percentage of 1 star reviews put me off.

Based on personal experience I recommended TWR watch repairs in another post, and low and behold they are in Essex:

Can also vouch for these albeit I used them for a crystal swap on a Sinn.

Thanks but I am suspicious by nature. Only 4 reviews on Trustpilot, 3 of them by people with just one review each and all made on the same day and unable to find them on companies house. Address also says North London. I think I'll just send it direct to Omega.

The North London address is his PO Box as he has people send him watches from all over which adds a level of security.

He has a shop in Essex as mentioned but you
Gotta use who you're comfortable with .

Good luck

Thanks. Dropped it off there today.

Phoned an Omega boutique in Stratford, they quoted me £684. TWR came up as a service centre on the Omega website. They quoted me £585. Had a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot too. Going to take 6 weeks.,
