Service question for my Speedy

I have been doing a lot of internet research and I can’t nail down an answer to my question. Where should I send my Speedy for an overhaul? Right now I am between Nesbits and the service center. I have read a few questionable reviews about the service center, but I live close to one. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have read poor reviews ot the New Jersey facility. I decided to try the one in Seattle and was very pleased with communication, timeliness and final product.

Any guess what Omega charges for service and polishing on a speedy pro?

Omega is one of the few manufactures who list service prices on their website. If you head to your local Omega website, you should be able to find prices there in your local currency.

Nesbit's basic charge for a Speedy Pro service is $750.

My local guy is very reasonable and he said he’d have to charge around $650 for a Speedy. He said I’d be better off to send to Omega, and for $100 more, I’d gladly do it. Right to the source

Omega Speedy service.

Just an FYI. I purchased a speedy pro 1999. the top pusher started sticking. It was sent in Feb 2016 for a completed rebuild. In 17 years it ran perfect, +3 sec a day. I was able to pull the crown and with a little back pressure hold the seconds in place for time correction. So it's first service in 17 years. Get it back, it stops running time. Bring it in and get it fixed. Second time the chrono would just stop running. Bring it in and get it fixed. Third time the second hand reset was just a little off, but I'll live with. I just missed it too much. Use chrono and reset, the second hand is now 1 sec off center, then 2 sec of center then 7 seconds off center. Back to fix and no more problems. It just ran a litte faster than before. Maybe +6 to 7 sec a day. Also with the new oils I could not pull the crown and with a little back pressure stop the seconds from running. No biggie. So it's been 1 year and 10 months. It now runs +25 seconds a day. So I brought it in to see if they will regulate it under warranty. Watchsmith says it has a very high amplitude and he is going to send it back to Omega to look at, but he doesn't like it. Anyway they use Culver City Center. Just an FYI for owners.

How did you do that? My old Seamaster needs service in a bad way.

I remember Fr John mentioning years ago that he only sends his Omega's to the Omega Service Center in Seattle...he mentioned the results were much better!

It is one man's opinion, but I value his opinion based on his experiences.

I have used Nesbit's with good results on a caliber 2500 Aqua Terra (communication, turn-around, and quality of service, including refinishing of the case & bracelet), and I recently sent my caliber 8500 Aqua Terra to Omega's center in Seattle. Waiting now to hear back on their evaluation (operation of the crown was way too stiff).
