..Hi guys, so this gorgeous thing has recently come into my life..My initial idea was to flip it as is, but it has a couple of issues..Manual wind is clunky and not feeling how it should..I was listing it as a spares/repair project..But i ve come to my senses..The dial and hands are sooo nice that i m going to order an extract for it and have the mechanical issue sorted..Also a case regrain.. Simon Freese? (I am in UK).. Experts chime in please

I am no expert, especially in these, but congtratulations on your decision to restore it, it's very beautiful.

Simon or Swiss Time Services - not the cheapest but will do a very good job.

No reason not to go to one of the above. I've been sending my Omegas to Christian at The Watch Guy and been very happy. I think he's a little cheaper than most, and does a very good job too.

Thanks for your input guys
This Memomatic has serial range in the 300XXXXX
Is that ‘69 or ‘70..? My various books give either these dates for this serial range..
