I wish I never took it to some amateur in San Diego at year 3...but whatever, Omega took care of everything this time. It looks brand new - except I can see a few scratches that give it character from me =) It tested at 3.5 seconds/day, it was at like 25 seconds a day, so let's see. The bezel and sapphire account for almost half the cost at 222 and 177 USD, respectively.
I have the same watch, and it was losing about 45 seconds / day.

It was purchased originally in 2003, so I guess it's time for a service.

I sent it in to the Omega service center in Los Angeles, and they quoted me $450.00 to completely overhaul the movement, and buff out scratches in the case and bracelet.

What is strange is the quote didn't mention the blue bezel insert, which is definitely scratched.
