·Does anybody have photo examples of vintage Omegas serviced and/or restored by Omega Service Center? I was curious to see service dials and hands, etc. that were used by Omega to replace originals, and polishing. Thanks!

·My Seamaster Deville was in rough shape. Was in a box full of loose change when I found it. Omega serviced it and put new hands, crystal, and crown.

·@jumpingsecond had an interesting chronometre that the dial wasn't half bad for a replacement.

Holy shit😲
And the kicker is the owner was not informed that the dial would be refinished....
No matter how "good" the result is, that's just not right.

·Is it now gold plated or just lighting? Also - very severe case cut. Doesn't look like original profile whatsoever.

Regarding the lugs, it’s either some serious case cutting or a new case. Whatever it is.. it’s not the same as the original.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI was wondering that as well.. almost seems chrome plated? Could be lighting and just a heavy polish I suppose.
Regarding the lugs, it’s either some serious case cutting or a new case. Whatever it is.. it’s not the same as the original.
I think the colour difference is about colours in the area being reflected, so it's still stainless.
I don't know the specific case number here, but Omega doesn't have replacement cases for watches this old generally speaking, so I doubt it's a new case. The lugs have certainly been recut in a major way though...
