[QUOTE="Chief Sapulpa, post: 3802153, member: 18458"] I just had my 20 year old Omega Seamaster Chronometer (non-diver mechanical analog) serviced by the Swatch Group (parent of Omega) service center in CA. This was the first time serviced. Basically it needed cleaning and lubrication. They replaced several parts and the stainless watch band as part of the service and returned the old replaced parts. Total cost was $575. I was shocked at the quote to service it but the 20 year price escallation for new Omega's was shocking also. I paid $1200 for the new watch in 2002 and today an equalvalent replacement is over $5K. Appearance is brand-new and the watch runs perfectly now. It was returned in a tic-tac shaped sunglass style case so I'm guessing the aliens were the techs. [/QUOTE]
