hmm....no response or advise? Just found out that the watch is probably around 50 years old.
I sent it into Swatch/Omega SC yesterday fully aware that they might have to send it to Switzerland for repair. what I really wanted was just to repair the movement + change crystal (the current is non-original that my dad changed a long time back). What irked me was the girl at the counter said that they will need to redo the dial, hands, re-polish the case, etc.....basically they want to overhaul/refurbish the watch. I want to preserve the current vintage look and not get a "new" watch.
Anyway, I told her to send it back to Omega quietly hoping that the Swiss are more willing to hear me out, otherwise, I burn RM350 shipping charge.
