LWC is the right place to take this. I suspect we will be amazed when Adam has worked his magic. I am really looking forward to seeing the completed project.

I'm pleasantly surprised with that dial. I expected it to be a lot worse.

I'd vote that the watch is a good candidate for a sympathetic relume. I'm sure LWC would knock that out of the park.

How's the dial color in person? Looks less tropical with the crystal off, but I'm assuming that's lighting.

What a great find.
The hands are interesting, I wonder if they are Radium - the way they glow bright green?
As for the lollipop - does anyone really pay $5,000 for one?
I love them,

Yes, US$ 5000 is the going rate for a Lollipop in the moment. kind regards. achim

For those that don't follow LWC on Instagram, thought I would post some updates here

The movement required a bucket load of work/parts but is back in running condition.

The dial has been relumed using the original radium in the mixture, and other than that it has been left as found in original condition, marks and all!

Looking forward to seeing it in the sunlight!

Not any more than there have been for years now. Many of the parts shown that were replaced would have been sourced on the open market or from donor movements, since they are not available from Omega.

The promised release of all 321 spare parts from the new production of the movement has not yet materialized...still waiting...
