·Well guys, this has been my project watch for the last few months. When I got this watch, the rolled gold covering had completely come off the crown, there was a cyclops crystal installed, and it hadn't been serviced in who knows how long.
I'm happy to say that I've remedied all those issues. It had a new Omega crown that is correct to the reference installed, I managed to track down a NOS signed Omega Crystal, and I installed a beautiful NOS Omega signed snake skin band. Oh, and it was serviced 6 weeks ago by my master watchmaker in NYC (if you're around this area, drop me a message and I'm happy to put you in touch with him).
Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm in the midst of applying to business schools for the January term. Each school seems to want a $100-200 application fee before they'll even read all the lovely essays I've sent in. So it's time to move this one along.
For forum members, I'm asking $650 shipped (Priority with insurance) in the CONUS via Paypal gift, check or money order. I'm happy to accept regular Paypal, but you cover the fees.
Please notice the following flaws: staining on dial at the 10 O'Clock hour marker, some wear on the lugs and particularly on the case back (notice the blackish areas around the Sea Monster), and less obviously on the sides of the case, and the scars of what appear to be amateur attempts to open the case above the 12 O'Clock position.
Last but not least, my website (www.secondtimeticking.com) is finally up and running after many months of on-again-off-again work; everything always seems to get done in massive spurts. I point y'all there not to try to drum up sales--indeed, this is my only Omega watch--but simply because I have many more pictures posted there, and because, frankly, I'm pretty proud of it. I'd love to hear your feedback.
