Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations.

My 1968 Seamaster 300 needs a service/repair and I wondered if any of the good people on this forum could recommend a trusted independent service centre?

Ideally I'd like the following carried out;
Service / repair
Cleaning but not refurbishing the case or replacing any cosmetic parts
Valuation
Photographs of the movement, inside case-back etc.
Warranty

This is with a view to selling the watch (unfortunately, needs must).

Thanks for any help.

Hi,
When it comes to Vintage Omega, the above recommendation is quite correct.
I was at Omega last year for co-axial training with the owner and one of his colleagues, so i can definitely vouch for their ability.

I am not sure that they will necessarily be able to tick all the boxes you require though.

Im a Level 3 Accredited Omega Watchmaker if you wanted someone to just have a look and give you an estimate

The offer is there anyway.

Simon Freese used to work at STS before setting up on his own.

Might take longer if he’s busy, but probably a bit cheaper than STS.

Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread but my Omega Seamaster has suddenly stopped working. I’ve had it maybe 15 years and, to be honest, was getting a little peeved at the fairly regular and expensive servicing costs - so am I in for a financial drilling when I send it off for repair, or should I just take it in to my local Omega jeweller?

It is 37 years since my Omega speedy pro was serviced at Omega. It is in semi-retirement now but winds easily and
keeps good time.
I know we are a motor site so servicing is what we think of but is it necessary

Yeh 100% would imagine seals etc will have given up by now. quick shower and that watch could be knackered.
