Omega Servicing?
Just wondering who here has taken their Omega for a full servicing. Of course they replace, repair the movement parts themselves. How are they on the aesthetics of the watch? If your watch has scratches and dings do they pretty much fix that and make the watch look like new?
5167 stainless vs rubber
This may be a stupid question but I randomly found a dealer that had a 5167 in stainless at an AD near me I'm picking up tomorrow. I inquired about the rubber strap and understand that with the clasp can run as much as another 2500. So I'd be 23.3 with tax + another 2.5 or 25.8k all in. I assume there no arb to buy the rubber 5167 then get stainless bracelet, but that would put the stainless bracelet at 6-7k. Not the end of the world either way but random question I figured I'd check. I'll have to post pics of the watch tomorrow my first Patek and am pumped.

Buying an 11-year-old Explorer II...service it?
I'm about to acquire an 11-year-old Explorer II that I'm assuming has never been serviced. I'm wondering if getting it serviced is the first thing I should do, mostly concerned about the case remaining waterproof. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
