  • If you could see the before and after on my speedmaster mark 2 then £500 doesn't look expensive. It really was a battered piece of watch shaped metal, and came back like new.

  • I'm sure and it looks beautiful. Thing is with my one, there's nothing especially wrong with it except the damn bezel fell off. It's down a floorboard somewhere but I don't know which one. Given a replacement goes for about £350 it threatens to turn into the last scene of The Conversation (minus the saxophone). I was wondering what kind of mark up they STS had on parts. Because if it's like the £400 minimum for a service offered off Bond St plus £350 for the bezel then we're right into replacement watch territory. (I think it was bought for $1,500).
    I'm scared.

  • About £20 for a generic bezel, or £200 for a genuine one at Cousins. Chronograph service should be about £120 upwards, depending on who you use. I had two 1940's Lemania chronos recently serviced at this price each.
