    Any recommendations preferably here in the states.
    This 1 can for sure use an overhaul I'm guessing & a signed crystal would be aces.Crown is original.

    Uh, yeah, that needs a COA fo' sure...

    There's a guy in MN I've been using for the last few of mine. Does a nice job and pretty good turn around time, too. A member here. Whether he has the Omega parts supply I don't know. Drop him a PM @Tmorehouse51

    Are you sure? How many notches does the cloverleaf have?

    I'm not now, but according to the seller it is. I don't have the watch in hand.I did purchase it from a reputable seller on the forums though.

    No worries, I am not an expert on these. I just thought it looked like an earlier cloverleaf crown, whereas I'd expect to see a later one which has more notches and smaller "petals", to stay in the floral sphere :D

    Meh, it's probably just fine. It sure as hell looks great ::love::

    Dropped out for awhile. Too much other stuff going on.
    Could not pass on this one though:
    Issued British military split second rattrapante chronograph.
    And at the cost of a decent watch strap.....
    :)

    Another vintage American railroad machine! :thumbsup:

    16s 23j Elgin Veritas 376 with wind indicator [circa 1915] in a Keystone J.Boss case.

    OK...so...I dropped my phone [camera] in the crapper [no crap was in the crapper] after I took pics of the newly purchased/delivered Elgin...so...my phone [camera] is sort of on the fritz [it's doing some weird stuff]...but...I started mashing some buttons and was able to send the phone [camera] pics to my email...
