Grandfather's Watch Rebuilt & Looking Good

Hi,

My grandfather's Watch has been rebuilt and now on my wrist, very happy with it.

Details:

Omega Seamaster
Caliber 591
Reference 14704.5

I received the watch 2 months ago and had it fully serviced ($800) and had a customer alligator band made to give it some life and make it my own ($605). All work was done in San Francisco CA by artisans who specialize in watch repair and leather work.

The watch has wonderful patina, the face has these freckles of orange that look lovely. I also love the way the "S" is stylized in the word Seamaster.

Wanted to share with you all, I plan on making this my daily watch, I think Grandpa would be happy with it. My first vintage watch, and frankly the first watch I'll wear as an adult (38 yrs).

Here were the two alligator leathers we debated. One is a classic deep green, the other is much lighter that we decided gave the watcha a bit of pop and a youthfulness to balance out the vintage.

Those photos are post repair/cleaning except for the shot where I'm comparing the look of the watch with the alligator leathers. I didn't want anything cleaned up that would take away from the worn look. If it impacted the movement or ability to show the time it was cleaned. As far as pricing, I have no idea if I paid to much for repair, I was told these guys were amazing and I went with it, maybe coulda saved a few bucks.

Thanks for looking and asking.
