Before sending it to Omega for what will undoubtedly be an expensive (but usually very good) repair, you could take it to a good watchmaker, not a mall kiosk etc and get them to do an assessment - it may be something as simple as a bit of grit stopping the movement, or a loose component. The fix may be quite simple and a lot less expensive than going the Omega route first. They may also be unable to repair the watch and will charge you an inspection fee, which you will have to add to the end bill from Omega so yes, it could be a bit of a gamble to try to save some money. It really depends on what the watch is worth, and what it is worth to you (not the same thing).Colin_E wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 6:49 pm Not really a big watch guy but hope I might benefit from the knowledge of those who are…
I have an Omega Constellation approx 20 years old. It’s mechanical (chrono-something?) as I was advised at the time it was preferable to electronic versions.
Long story short I stopped wearing it when I no longer needed to live by a precise schedule and now it only runs for a minute when ‘wound’. My bad… but is it worth getting serviced and if so, where to go and what might I expect to pay?
PS - this is a watch thread - we're hanging out for a pic of your Constellation
