Yes, Yes, I know. Typical thread name. Mysterious friend with a fake grandfather with the true reason is to find the value of the watch in order to sell. Not this time. When my friend said he was going to pick up his grandfather's Omega, I just did this but he came back with this! Looks to be an untouched Seamaster 30. All original and unpolished. Even running strong at +1 sec per day. He only wants one thing done.........knock off the dirt. Doesn't even want to polish the original crystal. Flaws that look to be on the dial are actually scratches on the crystal. I have convinced him to ditch the stretchie for a strap. Doesn't even want to wear it. Just to place it in a display box on the desk. I really really wanted to polish the crystal but nooooooooo. Here are the pics.
Looks in good nick! Definitely a service will do it wonders, that gasket and caseback need a bit of a cleanup but have done their job in keeping moisture out Mine says hello:
