Sent it off for first-ever service under warranty - needed regulation and new hesalite.

I debated whether to have the bracelet refinished - but decided to go ahead since it was on their nickel. I sent it off to Seattle Service Center - they apparently work 7 days a week! Their online order tracking system is GREAT! Rolex never tells you what's going on.

My last update said mid-July, and I've been really bummed.

Just now - 30 minutes after COB at my office, the phone rings and I decided to pick it up. It's Seattle calling, saying it is done.

I asked if it was going out 2-3 day ground - she says normally yes, but the boss said this one goes out overnight. I can't wait!!!!

7 weeks but i seems it sat there for two weeks waitin for approval? Did they not contact you in the mean time?

It took a little time to get everything sorted out because of a special order part. Hopefully, I'll have pics later today.

Finally!!! Regulated, new Deci Meter bezel, and a much needed half-link in the bracelet.

The moon has risen!

Quite unlike Rolex, Omega seems to clearly understand who owns what.

I use the chronometer at least once a week, and the tach bezel only occasionally to check speed against mileposts. However, I'm much more frequently timing production operations in minutes and decimal fractions thereof, so this is exactly what I need. If I still need speed, just divide 60mph by the decimal fraction of a minute.

couldn't agree more on Omega returning the serviced parts is the right thing to do (the customer did paid for the parts, not renting it)

its a nice touch that you can have Omega change the bezel too. try asking rolex to do the same thing ... LOL

btw, how to use that bezel?
