Referral for Vintage Omega Watch Service
Hello,
I own two vintage Omega Seamasters (500 series) that need routine oiling and minor adjustments. I prefer to avoid Omega ADs and Omega Service Centers due to concerns about getting overcharged. Any recommendations? Thanks, DAVID Omegas 01 01 2013.JPG

If you know your movement number, you can use the link to find the cost for service. They have a basic clean/lube/reseal "partial service" program that is pretty reasonable. This level of service DOES NOT include case refinishing. My only Omega service was done in Seattle last summer. I strongly recommend them. ____________________________ TT OysterQuartz SS/Black "U" Daytona TT GMT II-C DD OysterQuartz Breitling Aero Omega Speedmaster Pro |

I know a good guy in Jersey if you want. He has done maybe 10 of these old watches for me now.

Just had a complete restoration from inside to out on a 1974 Speedmaster Moon 861 cal by Chris Howard in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Has his own shop and parts account with Omega and really knows his stuff, many credentials and top graduate of a horology school in Seattle. He is a WOSTEP certified watchmaker and is very meticulous and your watch will look/run like new when you get it back. See www.fankhauserjewelry.com Phone number is 801-467-5815. Tell him the Judge says hello! |

The toughest part about service for any vintage piece is sourcing discontinued parts, but when you need service don't forget our very own Rikki www.timecareinc.com

I personally recommend central watch located in grand central terminal. I will be sending them my 1960 Omega cal 600 to them for a routine movement service soon. they service both vintage and modern.
