This one had a wrong crystal and crown I had the watchmaker take care of that during the overhaul

No big deal. It's a pretty easy fix.

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 😁

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

Thanks I like it. I will post more when it arrives.

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! 👍

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...
