I thought omega charged £450, but it's £590 now. The watch I was thinking of having serviced might be worth that at a pinch. It's hardly worth having it done. £825 fora speedy.

Restoration starts at £2000 you will see.

I’ve just had a Seamaster serviced and it had seen better days. I did balk at the cost of the service initially because I am fully able to service it myself, but the value for me, was in the refinishing of the case, which was brought to nearly new condition. I can do a passable refinish, but not to this level.
I now have a watch that has actually increased in value.
Generally though, one could get a perfectly good basic service for a ballpark £250 for a three hander auto. FWIW, I don’t think CWs service prices are too bad, actually good for a manufacturer service, but it doesn’t include refinish.

The cost for a C7 Apex service was posted as 360 UK Pounds
As of November 2024. I just sent my C60 Trident Pro SH21 to CW for service. Note that I am based in the US. I was quoted and charged $467.76. This appears to include some tax as the actual service is $438.70. Without tax, my guess is that the prices haven't changed.
