What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

My jeweler sent my Seamaster (Titanium and Rose Gold) back to Omega for clean and refinish.

I received the estimate by phone last night, nearly $2000.00 including tax. I requested they return with no work done.

I'm considering selling and going to another brand I'm so angry. Years ago when I had Rolex they were a fraction that cost for complete overhaul.

I own several Omega's and hang out from time to time at the Omega forum at the watch enthusiast site, Watchuseek. I've never heard of a number close to $2000 for routine maintenance. Something seems amiss if the watch is as pristine as you state. Maybe the titanium and rose gold requires unique care, but I would suggest checking in at some of the watch enthusist sites for advice.
I would suggest that you join the Omega forum over at Watchuseek and post pictures of the watch when you get it back, along with any estimate that that me be included with the return from Omega. Knowledgeable folks there can give you some advice in regard to the costs and reasonableness and/or perhaps a local repair person as an alternative. I have to believe the cost you were quoted includes some level of mechanical and/or case repair to reach that level of expense.

good luck.
