Curious to @Archer's thoughts on the performance improvements someone's made to this Calibre 269 I have a feeling this is one even he hasn't seen before http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-LOT-F...047990?hash=item23636e9976:g:nJEAAOSwuAVWx5ObPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
3rd grade art project? Glue happy hippie watch maker? Not sure, but why would someone allow this to happen?? And a plexi cover or some such nonsense? Wow is all I can really say.
And you would be right. I have seen some funky work, poorly executed mods, but clearly this is above and beyond that...I honestly don't know what else to say...
Its the little details that really bring it together, like how they cut a big hole in the movement plate just below the engraving "OMEGA" at the top, just like how Armin Strom does it. With a Dremel in one hand and a beer in the other.
Forget polished anglage....just a little deburring would have been nice... https://www.king-tool.com/deburring-tools.php
That is what is known in the (steel) construction industry as a "lightening hole" The watch is obviously meant to go into space (Neil Armstrong watch?) and they need to loose a gramme or two. Must be worth a small fortune.
Never make a modification that can't be undone! Give the "artist" cudos for that, anyway! At least he didn't use solder! It appears to be running in the picture. So maybe there's hope!
