    Hello all,

    This is actually part II of my post regarding a Speedmaster Day Date 3820.50.26...

    I have a few questions and my apologies upfront if they are annoying and or have been asked before....

    - Can someone explain to me the difference between the 3820.50 series and the 3520.50 series if any???
    Thanks in advance for your tips and advice & best regards,

    Florian.

    One is on a strap, and the other on a bracelet.

    Not as desired as the Speedy Pro is, but still a good watch - I service a lot of these.

    I don't follow the market on these, but you should consider that a service can run into some serious money depending on what is worn.

    Cheers, Al

    Thanks Al!
    How much are the average service costs since you have a lot experience regarding these watches?

    Furthermore I'd really like 2 receive feedback regarding the price of $1670 (€1500) !!!

    Thanks!! ☺

    It depends on who you use for the service, and what the scope of work is. If you want to get an idea, look at the Omega site under service, and you will see what they charge. An independent may allow you to leave out things that Omega would not, such as changing the pusher, crown, refinishing, etc.

    Cheers, Al

    Nice watch...I have the same but it doesn't get a lot of wristtime since it is a little too small for me. Also like the busy dial.
