I have owned an Omega Seamaster since 1994. In early 2001, I was living in Germany and it started losing time so I took it to a jeweler who sent it back to Omega Switzerland for an overhaul. It cost me just 400DM ($200) and that included new hands, stem, oring and band parts. They gave me back all of the old parts. I wear the watch almost every day and it is still keeping good time. The red on the hands have faded again a bit, but otherwise the watch still looks great. Since being back in the US, I have been wondering what I should do when it is time for another servicing.
