SERVICED OMEGA GENEVE CHRONOSTOP DRIVER

I picked up the watch last week from the Omega service center. I'm posting pics after it's trip to the "spa" I replaced the strap with a rallye driver style perforated strap with a vintage ss omega buckle.

I read in some forums/posts on mixed reviews regarding the Omega center here in Manila. I have had nothing but great service from them. While they may be expensive, you do get the following in return:

1. Peace of mind that your piece is a genuine omega watch as they obviously will not service fakes.

2. Authentic omega replacement parts. The only "fly in the ointment" is they no longer stock parts for vintage pieces (most pre-1970s models).  The option they will provide for these types is to ship your watch to the head office in Switzerland at an astronomical price tag.

3. An official receipt. This piece of paper adds value to the watch because it authenticates the watch as being genuine and provides you with a 2-yr warranty. So in the event you decide to sell the watch, this piece of paper gives the buyer piece of mind and lays to rest any issue regarding the watch's authenticity. The watch also gets registered in the center's database. You can therefore use the center as an additional referrence. So if you have a potential buyer, it's a powerful statement when you can state, "check the Omega center in Manila. This watch is registered in their database of service records."
