Servicing my Omega Speedmaster

[ajdo]

Hi All - My Omega Seamaster Mark40 ref. 3520.50 is over 20 years old and need servicing. It loses over -26s per day. I decided to remove it from watch winder and not create unnecessary wear of jewels. 

Should I send it to Omega for servicing or to an independent ? (I live in the US) 

Thank you... AJ

GOod move to remove it from the autowinder. I think you mean the Speedmaster Mark 40? Mechanical chrono service by Omega is $750 and add $200 bucks if its a precious metal case. I can provide a excellent watchmaker in California (considerably more affordable) that I know, but you'll have to send me a message if you want the contact info.

Yes, I meant SpeedMaster, appologies for typo. My Omega is in very good shape externally, I only need an “oil change” without all the frills. But I also need the watch to be regulated to be most accurate possible.  Although Ibthink this is what a watch service is all sbout. 

I live on the East coast, would you have someone closer to me ?  Will send you a PM tomorrow. 

I was even considering sending it to Mark in the Uk if he does this type of work. 

Thank you... AJ

If you have a reputable watchmaker near you and undertakes the work himself on his premises, go to him and ask his advice, it won’t cost you so much as sending it to Omega.

Will do, much appreciate.

@noirrac1j : I was not able to send you a private message, email box told me you could not receive PM. Maybe a bug I suppose?

Could you send me information directly ?

Much appreciated... AJ
