Speedy button fell off
Discussion
Just noticed the top chrono button for my Speedmaster Day/Date is missing.
Watch is about 6 months old and I bought it from Goldsmiths.
Taking it back tomorrow to see what they can do.
So what do you think will happen..
a) Really sorry sir, have another one
b) We will need to send it away, call back in 6 weeks
c) You damaged that so you will pay for it
Having never had to take anything back of this value/quality I have no idea what to expect...

UPDATE!!
On the advice received here I contacted Omega direct.
They sent an insured box and a travel case for the Speedy. Sent it off and the next day received and email saying that it has arrived and they would be sorting this at their costs.
Thanks for the info folks, much appreciated....
Of course now I realise just how much I miss the damn thing....

Is their place still in Southampton? I'd like to get a quote for a fix on one of mine, could just drop it in.On the advice received here I contacted Omega direct.

There has been a few differences in the Speedmaster case over time, the early straight lugged plain case had no pusher protection, like a lot of watches of the time (see Zenith etc).

Then the introduction of the assymetric case gave more thickness to shroud the pusher cap but left the posts nude:

And finally and uniquely on the last generation Lemania powered Speedmaster, enclosed posts on a moonwatch case:

Glad it's all back for you!
My six month old Planet Ocean has developed a loose hour hand and is currently with. Omega. When it was packaged up the dealer noticed I had a scratch on the watch body and said "let's hope Omega don't blame this on accidental damage". I'll be livid if a watch certified to a diving depth of 600m can be damaged without the wearer even realising!
