Most of us know the best finds is often the dirty ones with the crappy pictures.

This one I got on an auction in a lot with an other Omega.

A little cleaning, new crystal, new Omega crown and Omega strap 😀

The black dial turned out to be very nice, the movement is dirty and is going for service.

Let see yours before and after 😀

Scratched crystal and a little grimy, but obviously in great shape. Crystal wasn't even that bad; the seller wanted to be absolutely honest about the condition so he took the above photo (which was the only bad one).

Serviced it, cleaned it up, polished the crystal and ordered a strap from Giuliano:

I'm not sure how well this will fit in as I almost always choose not to polish or refinish a case but it's amazing what a good clean and a new glass does.
