Hello I tried using the search function and wasn't able to really find an answer to my questions. If I missed it and it has been asked before, I apologize in advance.

Where can I send my Speedmaster Professional (ref. 3570.50) off to have the hesalite crystal replaced that can ship to APO addresses? Thanks.

 

I think I should add that I did try to send it to Omega, however I was quoted a price of around $800 and told it would take 2-3 months. Not a typo, that;s what I was quoted from the Omega AD I went through. I was hoping it was something lost in translation (stationed in Okinawa but I don't speak Japanese), however it more or less solidified that I cannot go through Omega.

 

Omega won't just replace the crystal. The price they quoted was a complete service+crystal replacement.

 

Anyone can send it back to an APO address...I've serviced several from Japan that have been sent from and back to APO addresses. The harder part will be finding someone who will only replace the crystal...

Cheers, Al

 

A great duty station! enjoy while it lasts!

Thanks for the response but I've taken it to two watch repair shops here with a replacement crystal from Otto Frei, and they couldn't do it. They said the crystal doesnt fit the case, even though I've double/triple checked the case number against the part number of the crystal. I just want my watch fixed, so I'm looking to go outside Okinawa, and the rest of Japan for that matter.

 

It's definitely broken.

 

That's good to hear, do you have any suggestions? I've sent an e-mail to ABC Watchwerks but they never responded.

 

I used Daniel in the past - worked well for me. He responds to emails. http://www.crystalfit.com/index.html

 

Thank you! I'll send him an e-mail now.

And thank you to all who replied in the thread.
