fizeus
·Hi all,
I need your suggestions and expertise again, I have sent this watch for and extended service (It has slept in a drawer for 20 years) and now even if it works it needs to be cleaned and relubed.
It was owned by my grandfather and its movement is an Omega 40.6L T2, in very good conditions at a pre inspection (sorry, Iforgot to took photos)
Hands seems replaced to me because they are of different colors (seconds is blue, minutes is black and hours is white).
Also hours hand is bent.
Apart the mechanical servicing is there any other “fix” that you can suggest?
If this were yours will you replace hands ?
Which is the general consensus in re-dialing ? is it better to leave as is even if it's quite unreadable ?
Is it ok to polish the case ?
Thank you a million for you help !!
