Andy:
Generally they charge about 5 dollars. My advice to you is to go to an authorized Omega Jeweler. They may charge you 10 because you did not purchase from them. Be wary because if they're not careful they can scratch the links or clasp. I purchased a tool for 15.00 and made some additional adjustments to my seamaster and did it w/o any scratches. 2 things to consider...1 make sure the 1/2 link is the last link adjacent to the clasp and if you have an uneven number of links the extra link usually goes on the 12 o'clock side. Good Luck.
