Hi Mark, there's a service desk at their HQ in St James Square, where you can drop them off and they send you an estimate.

Or of course there's the new branch office, which was the reason I posted the receipt, but no-one's spotted it yet :roll:

Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought it might be a good place to ask...

Does anyone know a good independent repair shop? I've just about given up on Omega - had some work done by them last February and already it is beginning to crap-up again. One pusher is loose (fell off last time), and it is leaking a bit of water as well :( It needs a service, anyhow...

really like the different colour ones, although i want the 92 which doesnt have date/chrono/power reserve, etc.. the orange is cool, but the phantom in black is amazing!! (although a lot more expensive). Not keen on the light blue ones, but the white on black is great anyway; i wouldn't feel like I was "settling" for that model.. ;) pure functionality, esp. with the canvas strap 8)

ps.. thanks for the merc comments; the interior is still shagged, but give me a couple of months.. bodywork and stereo were #1 priorities and they're done so can turn my attention to suspension and soft furnishings over the winter
Tried on a couple of Bell and Ross in Harrods over the weekend. The larger face one is massive and I'm not sure my wrist can take it! The smaller one is too small ! :lol:

I think if I wore the 46mm regularly I would get used to it - I wear a 44mm Panerai and another 44mm watch so whats 2mm between friends!
