Jock74 0 Posted June 17, 2019 Hi, I just wanted to know where you can take a replica Omega for general service or battery replacement? Can you take it to a regular jeweler? Also, I was reading posts about the only way to know if it is waterproof is to have it pressure tested. Where can you have this done? thanks Gregor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted June 17, 2019 Most jeweler that does service are just sending it to Omega service center, so this will be a big no. Some will have a watchmaker but they will most likely refuse to service a rep. You'll need to find a rep friendly watchmaker, there's some trusted in here, check the list. For a battery change, I suggest you learn how to do it yourself, you'll save some money on that. Water pressure test will also be done by a watchmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobandshawn 5 Posted June 17, 2019 Not sure what service you need on a quartz , but learn to de-case the movement and you'll solve 90% of your problems. I used to simply bring in an ETA movement for service before I learned to do my own. No rep issues with just a movement!!! B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jock74 0 Posted June 17, 2019 thanks for the advice. I figured an official omega shop would be a no go. I'm in Canada, West coast and didn't see any known watchmakers here. I'll try search for one in my local city if and when I need it. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,510 Posted June 17, 2019 If it's a quartz then a battery replacement can be done at any watch shop (also those in the malls). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
