Oh man, yeah it's the down side to having a Chronograph. Hat being said it's totally worth it if you can find an independent as mentioned above to do the same quality for for a lot less.

While $750 is much better than $980, I'm still shocked at the price of such a full service. Lots of ways to justify those prices. Percentage of the cost of a new watch, getting certified Omega service and their warranty, etc. But it's still quite a layout. It's one more reason I prefer newer model Speedmasters vs. classics.

I would say less so. Im fine with paying a reasonable price for service of this chronograph (though as some have stated it's probably still a little high, but that's what you get for going for the mother company), and I think a 2 year warranty is reasonable. So no, not as disappointed as I initially was.

Yep. I agree. Had I not questioned it they would have gladly taken my money I suspect. But after I did they were quickly reasonable to adjust the cost. And the watch is pristine after returning from service. So overall it worked out.

I am assuming that they just haven't adjusted there pricing since the pound lost so much value. $750/1.60, (the old pound to dollar exchange rate) = 470 pounds.

I finally received my Speedy back from Swatch in Fla, full service and 753 bucks. Brought it home and it ran for about 4 hours and quit. Also noticed the tach bezel alignment was off. Back it went and still waiting to get it back.. again. That was 3 weeks ago.
