So... I have an Omega that needs serious service (pretty much an internal rebuild) and a Rolex that needs basic service. The jeweler I used in the past used to actually ship the Omega to Switzerland for an internal rebuild, at $197 all inclusive. That jeweler, however, is no longer around. A random place in Sandy Spring I talked to wants $250 for the Omega rebuild and they told me they "have the best watch staff in Atlanta" (mind you, half were hoodrats covered in tattoos... so, hell no). I have no problem having it done locally. It will save me the 3-4 week turnaround of going overseas, but I want it done right.

Recommendations?
 
Omega factory service is around $550 (chronos are more like $750) and has a 2 year warranty. Swiss Watch Expo in Buckhead is good and they also offer a warranty. Nesbit in Seattle is wha a lot of guys use online but they are just as expensive as factory. They used to be an authorized repair center but Omega doesn't allow that anymore. Anyhow, don't cheap out. You'll be sorry.
