After experiencing a traumatic event when my Omega PO flew off my wrist in response to a painful wasp attack (striking a brick wall and then hitting the asphalt), I sent same off to the Authorized Omega service center on the East Coast for repair and refurbishment. There were several rather severe impact scratches/gouges on the case, metal bracelet, and crown. The watch continued to tick away; however, I knew it must have sustained internal damage in addition to the cosmetic. The service center did a fully satisfactory job with just about everything with the exception of the deepest impact gouges on the watch's bracelet. Based on several recommendations on this site and others, I took the watch to Rik Dietel of Time Care Inc of Seminole, FL (Tampa Bay area) -- www.timecareinc.com. Rik did what the service center could/would not do -- he completely (and masterfully) removed the deepest blemishes. Rik was kind enough to complete the work while I waited. From this date forward Rik will be my watch repair expert.

Scotttampa,

Your photo threw me for a moment. "Why is he using my photo as his avatar?!?!?"

150x150 didn't show the finer differences!

Something tells me that Killboy spends a lot of time in the same spot.

Good to hear that the repair and watch sting turned out alright.

Rik serviced my SS Sub Date Y serial last year. He did a great job and made it look brand spanking new. I highly recommend Rik Dietel of Time Care Inc.

Yes indeed, we both were captured at the same site on the Dragon. And, Rik is the man. Cheers, Scott
