nwolf1716 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone know of a good place to get my reps serviced in the U.S.? Would any watch repair shop be able to do a service? Thanks
Jkay Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 George, Katt, Vaccum ... what kind of movement? Some people will touch a 7750 and some will not.
nwolf1716 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 its the omega PO 42 mm with the 4813 movement. It just stops keeping time when Im wearing it even after it is fully wound, or when I go to change the time and it wont start back up and its fully wound. But if I leave it sitting fully wound it keeps perfect time for over 36 hours so I was hoping a simple service would maybe clean it out and if that didn't work get it repaired i guess.
japanic Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 If it's a 4813, you can buy one from ofrei for $26.10 plus shipping. Most people don't even bother servicing a chinese movement as it's cheaper to just replace it. http://www.ofrei.com/page1119.html#23541

Shoot GKLONER at gmail dot com (Katt) an email and I'm sure he can help you for a very reasonable amount of money.

nwolf1716 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Ok awesome thanks for the info! would any watch repair shop be able to put it in if I brought them the new movement and the watch? Or would I have to send it out to someone on here to get that done?
Jkay Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I doubt a local guy would touch an a21j ... ETA is a different story. Katt normally turns watches around in a week. I can't speak for him, tho.
nwolf1716 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Hey thanks I just sent him an email. Im going to take it to a local shop in the morning and see if they can help before sending it out. Thanks for your help and input! Shoot GKLONER at gmail dot com (Katt) an email and I'm sure he can help you for a very reasonable amount of money.
