I have had cal1040 vintage Omega for about 10/12 years now and have at last decided to rebuild it. Having read your posts on this site regarding what should or should not be refurbed I would like to hear from you as to whether I should have the lume on the face touched up and if I should invest in a new set of hands. Some years ago I purchased a pair of genuine pushers from Frey's they are S/S and the case is Gold filled should I have these G/plated? Cheers Brian
In your particular case, as the dial is so damaged, I would buy a new dial here and save the old with old parts in the watch case. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-GENUI...71?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item589af37ab3Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Omega-...543711608?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item519e088d78Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Omega-...580024821?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item51a032a5f5Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-GENUI...69?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item589af1b271Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
