Those that have recently had service, is the turnaround time decent now? I know it was really long for a while. I have a SMP in need of service. My local boutique doesn’t even have the James Bond issue of the magazine, so maybe there are still shipping issues. )
I took mine in for a servicing (NYC store) last week and also inquired about the magazine. Got a phone call from them yesterday and they were happy to mail me a copy. As for turn around, they told me 8-12 weeks for a typical servicing.
I guess that’s a little better turnaround than I heard before. Still no magazine at my boutique, and when I asked if they can set one aside for me when they come in, they didn’t seem too interested.. hope I can find one eventually!
Has anyone ever gotten a loaner watch from Omega while theirs was getting serviced? I had asked a clerk at a boutique once and he said it was actually a thing they did, but I can’t imagine that being real. Was he pulling my leg? Is it his store only? 2-3 months is a long time to let someone borrow something.

Nice idea but never heard of it? Can't imagine how the insurance would work and customer would probably have to pay a security deposit. If it's anything like hiring or loaning a car for a longer period, the paperwork would be lengthy with the customer taking responsibility for any scratches etc. Think I would rather just wear any other watch than have all that hanging over me.

They wouldn’t need a deposit...they have your watch! )
Rolex do or used to loan you an old Tudor watch when you went into St James to drop your watch off for a service. I got some dreadful watch once, totally unwearable )
Not a good experience with this watchmaker, so my other Omega will be serviced somewhere else. If anyone knows a good Omega service center in the Netherlands, please let me know.
Will let you know in a while. My Seamaster is currently being serviced / revised by the Almere servicepoint.
