I also have quite a rare and unusual Omega quartz de ville watch. It doesn't have a crown - merely a tiny recessed button which is used to progress the time. I had it serviced and the strap replaced when I acquired it (cost £180 total), but the battery has since worn out. I have taken it into Omega in Westfield Stratford and they wanted £70 to replace the battery, which would take "a couple of weeks".
This is clearly ridiculous. As the watch carries significant sentimental value, can anyone recommend somewhere very trusted that can replace the battery while I wait for a reasonable price?
