I'll put in a plug for Omega service. I have a Speedmaster, and in keeping with the title of this thread I wear it. Every day, it is the only watch I have. So it got a little beat up. Couple of scratches in the hessalite crystal, marks on the closure, generally a little scruffy looking.
A few months back I took the kids to the WEM waterpark, and like an idiot forgot to lock my watch in the car. I didn't trust the lockers, so I kept my watch on.
Like I said, like an idiot.
Long story short, my Speedy stopped working. So I took it in and had it sent off to Omega for service. It wasn't cheap, stupidity tax rarely is, but man am I happy with the result. Yes, the watch works like a charm now. But as an added bonus it looks amazing! The crystal is replaced, the marks on the band and closure smoothed away. It's like having a new watch.
One year warranty to boot.
So not something I would want to do very often, but it is nice to know I have the option of getting it back to almost new if need be.
