Thomas G Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Has anyone tried option with Trusty? "WS001 - Full Movemt Service + Waterproofing (2-3 Needles watch)" I've read some general post about rep sellers waterproofing - and also some answers from Andrew. As far as I gather he has changed his serviceman to ensure this is getting done correct. I'm not sure what 2-3 needles watch is - I am guessing this is for Chrono type watches? Trusty does this for $120 on 2-3 needles watches. As I am hard comtemplating getting a genuine Omega PO Chrono mainly because I want to be able to wear this summertime and going light swimming. Does anyone have any input into this $120 addon? Regards Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not convinced it's worth it. Better to get a watchsmith locally to service and waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I also agree... Have it serviced when you get the watch... IMHO..You are wasting money.. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Now if I only had a local service guy who I knew would work on reps - in Norway T Do what I did...just call them on the phone and ask would they have any reservations about working on a high quality replica. You'd be surprised how many will...they all have to make a living in a trade in which we all know is slowly dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 There has not always been good feedback from people who have paid the extra for this service from a dealer, particularly those who drop-ship. If you want to be 100% sure that the watch is waterproofed, your best bet, as above, is to find a local watchsmith to do the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 With all due respect...this is probably the fastest way to burn money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 2-3 needles, they mean the hour, minute and second hand. So NO chrono's. and believe what all the guys here said. waist of money. probebly it will just be regulated. In the replica factories they DON"T service movements. because it does not earn enough. Better find someone locally for the 2-3 needle movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have read of these being opened up and being as dry as a desert. It's a complete waste of money, send it to a local watchsmith or someone wh is trusted on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
