Wonderful day, my first Omega, a late 60's Seamaster came back from my local service people! The initial discovery and boast can be found here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/inherited-vintage-omega-seamaster-300.97756/#post-1273059 Anyway without further ado! Much thanks to Jack and David at The Watchmaker www.thewatchmaker.com in Stoneham, MA. Looking forward to wearing it and thinking of my Grandfather, and Father through who's hands it has past. It's no longer +45mim/day, and I can see through the crystal. Here's to family, may it grace my daughter's arm or someone special of their choosing some time far from now.
Thanks all, I'm loving it! Might hunt down an aged tan leather, but the olive NATO really suits the style and wear and the aged lume. We (Dave at Watchmaker and I) were looking at straps, came to this and both looked up and said 'That one!', funny how the choice was clear and inevitable.
