·My next project.
Omega 2374/5 cleaned outside by myself and now on it´s way to my watchmaker for a new crystal and i hope she could fix my main problem. The spring holder is loose, the good thing is, i found the main parts inside after opening the watch and only one screw is missing. The movement is clean and runs.

·I have a few projects that are with my watch man
1958 Rolex
This watch was dropped by the previous owner who bought it new in 1958
The dial was askew + crown displaced
He cleaned it and it is running-
This is the only picture I have and was taken by the previous owner
This watch came in a lot 6 years ago-still hoping to find the parts to get it running-this is exactly how I found it and how it is today at my watch man's
Longines Pilot's watch-movement from 1912-case 1930's?
The dial is actually paper-the watch is a franken-pilot watch case wrong movement (came from another watch), no crown
Anyone have parts for this-hands, crown?

·OK, the second project appears to be completed. This is Lt. Jack Barrett's Gallet Flying Officer, that I acquired from an online acquaintance who frequents estate sales. Jack Barrett was a WWII fighter pilot, who was awarded several medals for his service. After the war, he returned to Oklahoma and started a Savings & Loan with some partners. He continued to fly a WWII aircraft in shows for decades. He was given this watch for his 20th year anniversary at the bank.
First the before photo:
It was running, but the chronograph wasn't operating correctly. There ended up being some rust in the movement and someone had monkeyed around with all of the eccentric screws, but after thorough cleaning, adjustments, and a few replacement parts (including crystal and sweep hand, obviously), it has turned out very nicely.
Here are the after photos:

·You sound like you've already made it to "acceptance". What happened to stages 1-4?
