Broad Arrow crystal replacement?

Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace the sapphire crystal on an Omega Broad Arrow 3551.20? I have five tiny chips right on the edge, between 90 and 95 on the bezel. I've e-mailed Omega through their website, but I'm not sure how long that will take or if they will even answer.
Thanks,
Jeff R.
Answer:
When your watch gets out of order you have a choice of two things to do: throw it in the fire or take it to the watch-tinker. The former is the quickest. -MT
Answer:
I agree with Damon. It'll probably take a month if sent to Omega.

Answer:
The sapphire crystal is resistant to scratching but you still have to be careful. They can chip or be broken.
Answer:
I bought the watch pre-owned and chips were there.
Thanks for the replies.

Answer:
Not answering your question here but just wanted to add that I have 12 total chips on my explorer1 near the 6 o'clock side and I have more than several scratches, chips, and scuff marks on my speedy pro.

Answer:
If you want to replace it, just bring to an Omega authorized service center. $200 should be enough for parts and labor.
