What time do you wear?

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.

Funny, factory service/warranty work for Omega was sent to Dallas, who in turn would send to us in NJ or a couple of other independent shops. Some special watches would be sent to Switzerland. I don't understand why a Seamaster would be.

I am in Dallas. The Omega was first serviced here and when the refinish job on the Titanium turned out less than perfect, I ask it be redone.

They said they did their best, did not charge me and suggested I go through another dealer who was specialty Omega seller.

I know my watch was returned to Switzerland because I was given the registered USPS receipt to pay when I refused the $2K factory quote.
