• Does anyone have any experience of having Omega Chronograph movements (cal. 1861) serviced with a traditional watchmaker/ watch repair service? Would there be a similar warranty offered generally?

    Or is it worth ponying up the ~£600 and go with Omega?

  • Not had an omega done but a brietling and a Rolex serviced by Alsal watches, both came with a years guarantee which they honoured when something went wrong on the Rolex fifty one weeks later. They did say the Rolex which initially was in for a repair and service may have to go to Rolex if a rare spare part was needed but in the end all was fine. So in short I would check a reputable repair shop before manufacturers . It was considerably cheaper as well
