I like Omega, but, I definitely have a hard time paying $485 for a service, where for $115 more I could have a Rolex serviced.
This I can't agree. Service is a service and each company sets a set price to do work dependent on model and complication. A Rolex is no harder to service than an Omega unless parts replacement is required. Maybe if you found a great independent watchmaker then that could be a viable option and you can discuss pricing privately to your liking.
