Re: IS MY WATCHMAKER TELLING ME THE TRUTH
In Response To: IS MY WATCHMAKER TELLING ME THE TRUTH ()

: Hi. took a vintage omega quartz in for battery, was told that the
: movement was shot, they told me that they could put in a
: replacement movement by eta and the watch would function . They
: said that the original parts are no longer available and that
: this is an accepted practice.
: They did this to me before on my wifes gp watch only difference is
: they converted it from a mechanical to a quartz... any comments
: or suggestion would be appreciated

A bit more info is needed. Where did you take the watch? Local jeweler, local watchmaker, authorized Omega dealer or Omega New jersey (or Atlanta)?? I suspect a local non-authorized dealer.
