Hoping to get the required knowledge to be able to make considered purchases one or two super quality Omegas.

Welcome down this monster rabbit hole.
I would recommend reading the sticky notes in this section and then heading overt to the brand reviews section to look into brands and models that interest you.
You will find everything you need to get started. Also, the flame free zone is a good place to ask questions as you get started.
Worse case scenario, reach out to members who are noob friendly such as @eBoy and @Feefo. Heck. Ping me if you want as well.

Anyhow, welcome to the wonderful world of reps.

Here is a question for you guys.

What is the situation legally asking a watch repairer to service a rep luxury watch?

Is it illegal? Will they confiscate it?
contact plod or trading standards?
