LightGeek 25 Posted October 9, 2015 Came back pristine. I was worried about SGCA Toronto but it seems some stories are unfounded. Took 4 weeks but she's good as new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishmael 92 Posted October 9, 2015 That's cool. And expensive. How bout a wristy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted October 9, 2015 I committed to the Nomos today so can't leave her out in the cold for a new (refreshed) one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wdev 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Congrats, must feel nice to have her back as good as new So if I'm reading it correctly it has been tested to 3bar and it's running between 0.8 and 10 secs a day? That servicecost though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wdev 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Oooh, and I LIKE your Nomos, very cool . It sure deserves the wristtime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishmael 92 Posted October 9, 2015 I committed to the Nomos today so can't leave her out in the cold for a new (refreshed) one... Thanks The Speedy looks nicely proportioned on your wrist; slightly big even. But I forget you have toothpick wrists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted October 9, 2015 Damn, LG, that speedie is nice! What's the reference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 672 Posted October 9, 2015 Their service is really good - yes it costs, but they are really detailed with what they have done and why. Sending the old parts back is a nice touch too I think. Speedy reduced is a great watch, I have mine on right now. That Nomos looks class as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted October 9, 2015 Is that the speedy from brand you japan mate? I ended up buying one from him as well. I too was thinking of getting mine serviced too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WPoste 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Speedy looks nice. Nice size choice. I am dreading the day I need to send in my Speedmaster purchased in 2005. Pricey cost but you get a nice red Omega carrying case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted October 10, 2015 Your watch is probably my favorite Omega and it looks great but those level of service charges will likely prevent me from ever buying a good quality Gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted October 10, 2015 Replaced all the hands (awww), crystal, gasket, pushers, crown... and the bastard chrono movement module. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted October 10, 2015 The crappy part is the acrylic crystal already has micro scratches fresh out of the case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted October 10, 2015 The crappy part is the acrylic crystal already has micro scratches fresh out of the case... Mate that is disappointing and as much as I like the many great watches supplied with plexi I only buy watches with sapphire these days as It's just too easy to scratch plexi and even polishing will only take out the finer scratches.

LightGeek 25 Posted October 10, 2015 I'm ok with scratches but only when I make them -- just like on a new car On the plus side, the lume on the new hands is crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted October 10, 2015 I retract my pristine statement. There is an unacceptable amount of dust on the dial. Contacted my rep via email to see what they will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakurai 1 Posted October 10, 2015 They should reimburse you for half of the service fee - and give you a half off coupon towards your next Omega. They'd probably still make a nice profit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted October 11, 2015 Make them earn that $$ for sure and clean it. That's unacceptable. I am the most amateur of tinkerers, but I even hit the dial with rodico under the loupe before re-casing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
