Let's discuss servicing your vintage Omega in Bienne

Vacuation procedure 87b:

Troll removal

I see you are passionate about sending your watch back to Switzerland- and I think you should do that. It’s your watch and it’s what you feel comfortable with.
Just so you have some info- the dial was refinished, probably when the hands were replaced- this was clearly done by a watchmaker in New Jersey.
As pointed out, the minute track should be on the outside of the hour indices, not the inside (some earlier models from the 50’s had them on the inside like the Constellations. The Seamaster logo looks way too bold- the lettering is typically much finera- then there is the aforementioned “T” but no lume on the dial. The non- Deville marked front loader was typically only 1962- the first year of the front loading case for Omega (although with Omega there can be exceptions), from ‘63 forward the front-loaders were typically marked as DeVille. Here is a crappy iPhone pic of my unmarked DeVille- Deville on the correct factory bracelet- made only for this model year-1962

Nobody is trying to argue or convince you of anything, it’s your watch- do what you want. But when you come to a forum of collectors and start trying to argue a hypothetical case for something that people here have direct experience with -you’re gonna ruffle a few feathers.
I hope your grandmothers watch comes out exactly as you hope- these are fine watches once they are sorted and a pleasure to wear.
Best of luck in your pursuit.

What does this mean?

It means the troll has been removed.

Was he removed with

I think the OP was more Jerseyphobic than anything- apparently the Swiss wouldn't be caught dead breathing the air in New Jersey....but then again...I don't suggest anyone really inhale deeply in Jersey 😉

No man, it was the New Jersey thing- you just don't mess with those guys.



I think he got whacked.
