In Response To: Service, Fake? ()

: 1) How much does the 5 year service cost and
: how long does it take?

OMEGA recommended prices for service are posted on the official OMEGA website (see link below). You will need a currency converter like XE.com to convert from Swiss Francs (CHF) to your currency of choice. These prices are the norm at the Omega factory in Switzerland, though other service centers may vary.

Contact the service center you would send it to and see what their current turnaround time is.

: 2) I have a SM Pro and I saw a SM Pro
: Chronograph yesterday. The band on the SM
: Pro Chronograph was much wider and the
: thickness of the watch was twice of my SM
: Pro. Is this a fake or are the Chronographs
: that much thicker?

They are that much thicker. THe full size SMP is 11mm thick, the Chronograph is 16.3mm thick -- almost half as much more!
