What time do you wear?

Yikes, a $2000 maintenance. I was pissed when my Baume & Mercier "required" a $400 brush up.

Does anyone have a Ball watch? I saw some at a local store and was impressed. They have unique but still tasteful designs and are relatively inexpensive.

Years ago when I had Rolex they were a fraction that cost for complete overhaul.

Yes, you are right. Most watch manufacturers charge an Arm for nearly nothing.
Rolex is expensive when you buy it, but their Revision incl. repair is a bargain compared to others. I had a Datejust running 23 Years nonstop, then it stopped working (Dry). Rolex made the repair with new parts and polish for 500$ only. I expected much more, because it was not working anymore.

You're right Syntax, I dropped my (then) Rolex President off at the factory in Switzerland when my wife and I were on vacation many years ago.

Fortunately I registered it with US Customs because when it was returned there was no way to tell it from brand new in the box. It was literally perfect in every way.

Cost was I think about $400.00, I assume much more now but no way $2K like Omega is asking. The Omega does not have anything broken, runs very slightly slow and looks good, no scratched crystal or anything damaged.

I'm pissed at Omega, will likely put the watch up for sale at Flea Bay. I have no idea what to replace it with.
