Here’s the thing with an independent service — they have to purchase parts from Omega. Most just include the cost of known parts (gaskets, etc) in their cost of service. Sounds like your guy is charging for those parts above his cheaper service. The question I would ask is if he replaces all the gaskets in his service, or just uses the old ones. If he reuses the old ones, I’d not use his services — these should be replaced at each service.
I believe Omega always replaces the parts included in that service kit in their service (and the price reflects it). Personally, I would have paid to have all those parts replaced — they get a lot of wear.
Now, I don’t know about the hands. I’d probably skip that replacement on an independent service.
