Didn't these cost 75 usd just a few years ago? I hear they are now 300 usd? I wonder how high Omega can set the price before watch owners will stop buying them. Sorry, but the parts stranglehold has me a bit miffed, and I believe they should provide this service online for free, given how much watch owners have ALREADY invested. They can easily afford to provide this service as a thank you to loyal customers. I'm sure many will disagree. I have never bought one and never will. Nor do I care if any watch I buy comes with one. Doesn't add a dime to the value, in my opinion.
