What time do you wear?

Pabul57,

Does that model have rough, irritating parts that rub your skin? I ask because while my Seamaster was being serviced I bought a Seiko and then had to return it. It was tearing up my wrist.

Here's a link to it: Seiko

Size and band seem similar to Black Monster.

The band does look the same, I would think you would have the same problem with the Monsters....though my wrist seems unscathed and adjustment knob (not the technical name:) on the Monster is offset to the 4:00 position which seems to help.

Watch? Who needs a watch? I've one of those Organic Lifeforms time pieces whose mother taught her many years ago to sound the alarm "Hey you, are you ready yet? It's time to go___(fill in the blank___!". So I'll ask you again, who needs a watch?

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.

That quote was from Omega Switzerland, however the dealer could be adding substantial markup. I have no way of knowing.
