Omega service prices

[mel]

I've just had a bit of shock with the O/H's constellation going back to Omega for a battery change due to them being the only people we could find who would change the seals and pressure test to keep the water tight integrity (only needs to be swim safe really) and the price for a new battery?? £55 to you please sir anyway I'm now living in fear as at the same time I sent them my 1964 Seamaster for a service as it was being generally grumpy, stopping at random, and taking a couple of days wear before it kept anywhere near reasonable time, they told me they would quote the work and needed to forward it on to their "heritage watches dept" in Switzerland, I'm dreading it. But now to top it all my current titanium Seamaster has started gaining a couple of minutes a week so is also going to need a service (hasn't been touched for probably 7 years or so) and again this is going to need to be Omega serviced to keep the watertight integrity (genuinely does need 100m rating)

But any suggestions in the SE or am I really tied to bloody Swatch House?

Well the vinage seamaster arrived back this morning totally unannounced with a chit saying "movement in poor condition and spare parts no longer avaliable, unable to assist" it took just over 2 weeks but atleast was inspected and shipped back free of charge, just seems a shame. I have a lead on a place in Tonbridge Wells that may be able to help, and possibly the one in essex mentioned earlier but has anyone any other ideas or recomendations?
