I brought my mother's two defective Omega watches from 1970s to SwissMade to bring back to working order. They were honest that one of them was not serviceable and only quoted for the other watch. The watch was fully serviced and ready for collection sooner than the eight weeks originally estimated, and this hand-wound mechanical watch is now keeping perfect time. Thank you!
