Few months ago I managed to drop my speedy cracking part of the hesalite crystal. Can any recommend someone in London to replace it and an idea of costs?

Thanks!

If you're not worried about originality.. you could consider getting a sapphire crystal fitted? Might be easier to find replacement?

If it wasn't for the fact that replacement Hesalite crystals are freely available - the Speedmaster Sapphire costs 10 times as much and won't fit because it's a different size - that would be a really good idea.

Omega will replace the crystal as part of the fixed price service - £570 for a Speedmaster.

Non OEM crystyals available many places on line and 30 mins for a watchmaker to fit.

Alternatively non OEM service like this :

Thanks for the link, they are close to work so will take it in for a quote.

Edited to add - I wouldn't want a crystal replacement. Hesalite is the only way to go with a speedy (IMO of course). smile
