Bit of a study in contrasts today, popped into Watches of Switzerland on Regent Street, spoke to their service team for Omega - they estimated £800 plus VAT and a 10 week turnaround to replace the hesalite crystal on my Speedmaster. I then went into the Omega Boutique on Oxford Street to get a comparative price and they said they'd do it for free, inside a week. Boom.
They said they wouldn't change the crystal without doing a full service, which is ~£560 of the cost. They guy also kept insisting that it'd be a sapphire crystal replacement, which I disputed but I'm not sure he believed me.
