Sorry about your luck.
Have you thought about sending it to Omega for repair?
That seems like the most logical resolution to your problem.

Yup sounds good, find a authorized omega dealer.

Well worth any amount of $ for a special watch.

Well I can highly recommend these people,can some times be a bit slow if they are busy but work quality is a very high standard.

I am sorry to hear about your bad luck, I do know for fact that this can be fixed as my friend did the same thing to his Omega Sea master watch about two months ago. He damaged the crystal and the internal workings of the watch when he knocked the watch off a kitchen counter and onto the tile flooring. It set him back about $140.00.

Ouch! hope the rest of the watch is OK!

Firstly.... go to an AD, they will be able to take care of you.
And, I believe that it will be a plastic hesalite crystal on your speedy pro seeing as it's an older model, so it shouldn't be too expensive to replace.

Omega will be able to do that, and they will send it back complete with new crystal (with plastic sticker!), new pushers, crown and seals.
They will also pressure test it, and make sure it's running to spec.

They may even give you your old bits back. Good luck!
