    I'm new to the world of Omega vintage and trying to pick up as much knowledge as possible. How did you know that the rotor axle was worn... from the pictures?

    You can see where it has been rubbing the inside of the case back and there are also signs of this rubbing on the rotor itself. It might be an historical issue that has been sorted out but unless there is some paperwork to prove tthat it has, you should always assume that it hasn't.

    Great info... Thanks!

    I went back and looked at the pictures again and was able to pick up the wear marks in the case back and in the movement below the rotor. Good stuff.

    Yea that's a bracelet off one of those Seamaster Day Dates from the 1960s or so that someone has transferred the 18K gold clasp cover from the original Speedmaster bracelet onto probably after it was scrapped.

    Bracelet looks gold filled while the clasp is 18K.
