Lemania 5100
In Response To: Re: About the Omega / Lemania 5100 Connection ()

I stopped working on the 5100 about 5 years ago and I know other watchmakers who will not work on them either. That should sum up my fealings about this movement without getting into the details. The romance might be short lived when you have to pay a minimum of $750.00 to have it serviced by someone really qualified to work on it.
