Finally came back from servicing in Swiss...sent over in October 2013. Thought just a simple repair of a loose crown and movement service. Only found the problem when i was contemplating selling it. In the end, there was corrosion of the case back and Omega had to re-case the watch. So now 6 months later and S$1,450 poorer..
Parts changed out and returned to me. Basically on the dial and movement is left, everything else has been swapped out by Omega.
Guess now i will never sell it since it has cost me a grand total of around 2k to service it over the years of ownership since i was in Primary school.
It's for the best - now every time i strap it on, it will remind me of my father and that we should always treasure and spend time with our loved ones while we can when we can; and as they say such things are priceless...
Oh and i really should not have lost the original gold bracelet for this watch too...now any bros here can recommend where i can go to pick up a good quality brown/dark brown croc print leather strap in 19mm? It's a wierd lug width for sure.
