Cost of new crystal and bezel insert

I'm getting charged $135 for the crystal and $90 for a new bezel insert for a GMT-II (It had faded from brown to almost white)

Is that the normal price? BTW they are being installed as part of a warranty repair at no additional cost.

I paid GBP 90 / USD 180 (approx) for a replacement crystal on my SD.

Your quoted price seems to be about right

90 US $ for a bezel INSERT?!

That is ABSURD!

The price of the crystal, though, seems more like it.

BTW: the LEC (Laser Etched Coronet) will then have an "S" inside the base of the coronet, standing for "Service".

Some members will probably be so kind as to post pics of the "S LEC"

I paid $65 at an AD, and can have it switched out whenever I'd like.
