Omega Service

[SP_]

Hello all,

I have just realised my Omega is overdue a service(!), I received a quote from an AD who quoted I think £800 as it is a Chrono model.
As it's out of warranty, can anyone recommend a reputable alternative?

This guy was very good, although from memory he was still well over £500

When you say 'overdue' do you mean more than 5 years or not running properly and so needs servicing? I'm no expert but I think the 5 year thing is overkill.

I've had my Planet Ocean for 9 years and it still keeps perfect time so no intention of servicing it yet and my Wife's Rolex ran fine for close on 20 years until it slowed down and needed attention and it's not like it cost any more to service at 20 years than it would have done at 5 so, given the cost I'd leave it until it needs it.

All IMO, others will differ.

That said, I'll be interested to see the recommendations for when the time comes.

I've always had my Omega serviced by Omega - but not always on time. When the services has found issues, or where I had flagged issues before hand, they have often done the repair at either a discount or for free (minor things) as its always been serviced by them. What I am trying to say, is that saving a few pounds on the service may cost more in the long run.

My Speedmaster went in last week £825 so as you say not cheap. Mine was running 20 secs a day fast. Prior to me buying the watch it had been stood unworn and unused for 5 years which I'm assuming won't have done it any good

I had my Omega (Seamaster Aqua Terra) serviced (and repaired - one of the cogs somewhere had sheared and bits were caught in the movement) by these guys and they did an excellent job (using genuine Omega parts) for a fraction of quotes I received anywhere else I asked.

Mine was working fine, but after 20 years I thought I'd get it serviced to make sure it was still water resistant so I could wear it while swimming.

DO NOT POLISH I said, and it was clearly written on the form. The watch was returned, and guess what? Yup.

I had mine serviced in October after 7 years, when it stopped and wouldn't run.

I was told that nothing was broken, it just needed servicing.

I took it to a well regarded Omega service centre who people have used on here......It was £550 I think.

But, I had to send it back a week or so later because it stopped again - apparently "the resistors needed cleaning up" - surely that was part of the service I paid a lot of money for?

I wouldn't use them again, although it runs fine now.

Swiss Time Services www.swisstimeservices.co.uk are Omega certified and have always serviced mine. I tend to wait until it stops working though, as opposed to having a scheduled service - something goes wrong every 7-8years, each time sent to STS and it comes back looking like new. It s a Speedy Pro and is my day to day wearer - last service 2025, paid £730ish I think.
