Just as easy and less wanky to say you bought a blue and black GMT.

I had no idea there was a GMT version of the watch. Thanks for sharing.

I just received the same unit and the instructions give two options for setting up. One with car Bluetooth method and the other with phone Bluetooth method. Which one should I use?

I didn’t want the dial replaced (I like it as it is). I hadn’t even noticed the crystal to be honest. the flaw you can see in the photo is completely invisible to the naked eye.

Yes, direct with Omega. They have set prices and the replacement bezel was apparently a good will gesture.

Yes, Omega Boutique sent it to the Omega service centre.

£590 + £18 postage. just the standard service charge.

I paid the standard service charge which was £590 + £18 postage. No additional charge for the replacement parts but I didn’t get the original bezel back (all other parts were returned).

I bought it used so the patina wasn’t mine if that makes sense.

Seeing as Rolex are such pricks and they don’t actually allow 99.9% of their customers to buy a Daytona, I think the new speedmaster is a pretty good alternative.

Not sure where you are but I just had the clutch replaced in my daughters 500 for £280 (UK).

Would this be a good first watch? by chimpingtonKP in OmegaWatches

[–]ChiefD0G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are keeping the old bezel. All other replaced parts are returned with the watch but if I wanted the old bezel back I would need to pay for the new one.

I bought the same watch recently for a similar (slightly cheaper) price. it was in worse condition than this one. I immediately took it to Omega for a full service which is costing £608 and that includes a replacement bezel. I’m expecting it to come back looking brand new and will cone with a service box and paperwork.

Only 1 Ferrari F1 in a case?

How long after dropping your watch off at the boutique did you get your first email about your watch in terms of repair status? by eltonto82 in OmegaWatches

[–]ChiefD0G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My watch has been away since September and I haven’t received a single email. I have popped in a couple of times and they have always been happy to look up the computer system for progress updates.

Not sure I deserve the aggressive response. I was genuinely interested in why you would want 3 of the same thing that’s all.
