路Great even patina on the dial, the gold pops nicely in the dial- get it service and cleaned up and it will be a stunner. You did just fine IMO.
So that's even better 馃榾

路Around $300, but with crappy white/black pics, where I could not see, if it is a redial or not (but from a collector, who told me, that it was over 40 years in family).
Spend another $250 in a Omega BoR and another $450 for an Omega certified watchmaker (he has had the original golden hands in stock, he wanted to use them for his own Omega 2848!):
Nice Omega 2848 gilt dial.

Got it for the cal. 601 movement to a project, but i guess it is to good to scrap for parts 馃榾
Omega Gen茅ve ref. 135.070, cal. 601 from 1969, cleaned it and got an Omega strap on it.

I have purchased so many turntables for their parts, only to end up restoring them-acquiring new parts for them, then the original project still goes unfinished....it鈥檚 a problem

路I think I am seriously in love with the watch in the initial post in this thread. Anyone have a bead on where I can find that model with that dial? 馃榿

路A friend of mine who collects and deals in ceramics constantly bemoans the state of watches I buy. According to him, I won't look at anything that doesn't seem to have spent the last two decades buried in someone's garden. Just to prove him right, I bought this yesterday:
Circa 1958, the poor thing's filthy with a worn rotor bearing ... but beneath that lurks a little peach. I promise that after a service and a good clean, the watch will be unrecognisable ... and oozing wabi sabi. Did you see that naiad crown?

路I love your enthusiasm. To me, the patina is a little past the point of pretty. Will you address that or leave it be?

路We have the technology ... we can rebuild him. One day, I'll gather together a bunch of before and after photos of the many watches that have passed through my hands. I genuinely love breathing life back into these things.

路A friend of mine who is workbench talented (read-not a watchmaker) did the lemon juice trick on a lady Seamaster dial that was almost dark orange and barely readable. Aside of the loss of lume, it came out like a gleaming jewel. I had him do it on deville I got that was similar...not so lucky- text all floated off the dial in big chunks. I texted while he was doing it asking how it was going and didn鈥檛 hear from him for over 24 hours....he was freaking out. I could visualize what was happening...oh that looking good...wait...oh shit, oh shit....
