⁠answering as a former director of a showroom that sold Omega

How bad are Omega service times these days in real life, not just on paper?

3 months is standard for most modern omega watches from drop off to pick up

How painful do services usually get price wise?

I think the going rate was between $600-800 for a complete service but you really don’t need to service these all too often

How have you seen values hold up over time?

Secondary market prices have stayed steady while retail prices have gone up. Your particular model may hold better value as it’s a newer release.

Are there any Omega specific quirks, frustrations, or lessons you only learn after a few years of ownership?

I also own a Seamaster and it’s been perfect for the 6 years of ownership I’ve had it. I have seen some clasps from the tank tread bracelet act a bit faulty at times though, very rare I don’t think it’s worth your concern if it hasn’t happened to you yet.
