Re: Bad service on new watch update

In Response To: Re: Bad service on new watch update ()

: If I had originally sent the watch to Omega in
: PA I wouldn't have sent the watch back to
: them to fix it a second time ....... that's
: why I didn't send it back to Womble Watch
: Works. I never did hear back from them even
: though they said they would call.

: For Omega to tell me "handling marks"
: are to be expected during service really
: turned me off on their product. A few months
: before buying my Seamaster I had bought the
: ladies version for my wife ..... Now I'm
: worried about "acceptable handling
: marks" when it needs a battery change.

: Right now, I'm wearing a Citizen NaviSail. This
: watch was sent back to Citizen for a battery
: change a year ago and you'd be hard pressed
: to tell it was ever serviced. This watch
: cost me $99. Is it wrong for me to expect
: the same from my $1800 Omega? Especially
: since I told Womble I was particularly picky
: about any scratches, especially on the case
: back (they told me they wouldn't have to
: open the watch for a bezel spring change. Oh
: well.

: I was going to purchase a America's Cup
: sometime in the future, but now I'll pass.
: I've heard others say Rolex usually returns
: serviced watches in better than sent in
: condition. If that's the case I believe I'll
: eventually get a SeaDweller to replace my
: Seamaster which has lost its luster to the
: point I no longer plan on wearing it.

: I've always been a champion for Omega when it
: comes to the Omega vs Rolex debate. Now I
: feel the fool.

sir honestly you're misinformed i know for a fact mr.womble is extremely careful with every single watch he handles or his company handles. and honestly you're not the only customer there.
