Product Review

I own the Omega Seamaster Chronograph, purchased it new in 1998. I've had it serviced by genuine Omega Authorized Dealers every 2-3 years since new. In 2005, diving in San Carlos no more than 20 meters depth, the watch sprung a leak. By the time I returned home the watch had remaining sea water with rust inside. I sent the watch to the corporate repair center after consultation with a customer rep (The company is owned by Swatch). After several months and repeated inquiries, the watch was sent back to me un-repaired with no explanation. I again contacted customer service (another painful story within itself) and re-sent the watch. A year later (Yes, the second time took 12 months) after repeated letters, phone calls and a threatening letter from my attorney, they contacted me for permission to do the repair work. The estimate was nearly $1300 and they offered no discount for the considerable inconvenience. I paid the fee and the repaired watch was returned to me as good as new with a limited warranty. I don't recommend you take this watch diving, and frankly, as much as I love this watch, the customer service was a rude slap in the face. I will never purchase another product from Swatch and I warn you to consider my experience before you spend several thousand dollars on an Omega. It is indeed a fine timepiece but if you have any problems with it, BEWARE.
