An update:
I have just received the Omega, repaired and serviced
When I didn't get very far last year with
https://watchguy.co.uk and
https://watchdoctors.co.uk, I kind of gave up and continued to ponder. A couple of months ago I contacted watchguy again, but he was still too busy to take it on.
However a further search came up with thewatchprofessional.co.uk. His website gave off a good vibe so I contacted him and explained the diagnosis of broken dial feet. He advised that a repair could well indeed be possible and to send it to him for appraisal. He got back within 48 hours and said he was willing to take it on. His wait time was about 5 weeks though. He provided estimates for the repair and parts required + a complete strip and service and would get back to me when he started with an update and no money was required until the job completed.
He's been in regular touch with progress reports and his original optimism about the dial feet repair was still good.
The total cost was £280. £180 for the service, £55 for new mainspring, setting lever spring and replacement glass, £30 for the dial repair and £15 return postage. All of which was considerably less than others were quoting.
It looks great, no damage to the dial (which was a possibility due to the dial feet repair). I didn't want the case to be polished at a cost of a further £49, as I prefer the 'patina' of age and wear.
He's guaranteed the work for 12 months. It's kept perfect time for the last 45 minutes since postie handed it over
We shall see how it pans out. But everything so far has been excellent, including his regular communications.
