This was stupidity, but what am I looking at for a crystal replacement for a '92 Omega Speedmaster Triple Date. I need to get this out of my site as it reminds me of what not to do!

It would cost whatever the price of a full service plus the crystal. I’m just throwing a number out there with no experience with Omega or preferred independent watchmaker. $500-$700.

You will want a full service to make sure any shards are removed from the movement though. Not just a crystal replacement...

Does that watch have a hacking function? If so, I suggest you pull the crown. There will be microscopic shards of glass floating around, and you want to stop the movement so they don’t damage the movement.

That looks like my old watch...by chance did you pick it up in Vancouver?

Triple Date (Mark 40) full service with tax and return shipping is $825.

Ugh! My local jeweler said probably $300-500, but she was just guessing.

I do not recall exactly but picked it up on eBay.

I just had my speedmaster (145.022) serviced by Omega. Total cost in the USA with tax was $800 USD. The crystal was replaced as part of the service along with pushers and a few internals. No added cost.

What if the dial side has no breakage, kind of like a windshield cracking on the outer layer- would OP be able to replace without a service?

vesnyder · 21 August 2020, 05:02 AM

It was just serviced in January 2018 so I am hoping it just needs crystal replacement.

dummykid · 21 August 2020, 05:23 AM

i think Omega would require full service fee + crystal cost.

Isn't there an equivalent of Rolliworks for Omega - for those familiar with the Rolex service market? Somebody who specializes in Omega - highly respected and cost competitive?

Look up Nesbit's in Seattle. They are an independent Omega service center, and they do fantastic work.
