looks great! What parts did they replace, if any? Did you get a new bezel?
I'm considering sending mine in for service within the next year or so
Yes, details...

The bezel was replaced, yes indeed. The rest of it was internal, new hairspring, and curiously enough there was a jewel that had come loose and was stopping it from holding a good wind. It kept time within chronometer specs but it would stop running within a few hours of me taking it off.

Are they still charging about $200 for a new bezel? I heard servicing for non chronos is about 550

I didn't have it serviced by Omega, but by a watch maker in Nova Scotia. If you're on instagram look up @emmywatch, she does great work.
I had a few watches serviced by her this time and they were all on the same invoice; I can't remember the exact cost for the SMP alone, but I believe it was between $300-$400.
Hmm, thanks for the shoutout. I'll send her a message and ask for a quote. I have a local watchmaker who's very good but not sure if I could get a bezel replacement for cheap from him.

Did you get your bracelet serviced/cleaned at all?

I think she ran it through the ultrasonic cleaner, no polishing or anything though.
