Quotes of $7000-$9000 quoted on the Omega Forums - ouch.

We've probably all seen these horror story pictures before, but they're shocking all the same every time I see them. Amazes me that they quote 70% of the cost of the watch just for a new case.

Boring old steel for me.

Darn,that's expensive...I remember the thread about the cracked pam 317 and Panerai charged around $6-7k for the ceramic case,CG and movt reassembly + re-regulation

Nice but too $$$$ for me.

[tempocalypse]

Ouch! Also kind of underscores just how far from the spirit of the original speedy the ceramic ones are.

Its stuff like this that makes the more traditional and WAAAAY cheaper alternative of stainless steel a no brainer for me.

Someone told me the other day that *all* chronos are tool watches

Araldite ? Got to be worth a try against a $9,000 repair bill

Full Moon tonight and depending on your location, a lunar eclipse / blood (red) moon can be seen in the wee hours of the morning

That's absurd. Almost the price of (an intact) pre owned one. Surely just replacing the whole case would be cheaper?

Yikes. One reason I won't touch full ceramic cases.
