Thanks to Photo500, I now own my first Omega. It arrived today from Australia and my watchmaker had the broken 1159 bracelet fixed and sized by the time I left work.

P500's restoration efforts have created a one of a kind watch that fascinated me from his first thread. I'm very happy to give it wrist time on the other side of the planet. Cheers and thank you all for the generosity and knowledge to get me started with vintage Omega!
