路Yeah it's true.... Bless her! In her defence, she's never heard of Simon Freese or Swiss Time Services and isn't familiar with the 321 movement!
However, you will all be pleased to know that, so far, I've left the DIY watch repair kit it in its box well away from my Dad's Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65. Now.... If it had contained a @Pahawi case back opener??? I may have been tempted to have a quick look inside.馃槻
My question is:
Do you think I should have a go at reuniting it with its long time 1171/633 service bracelet? I really would like to start wearing it again this Summer.

Don't worry chaps! I won't be trying to look in here using the evil 3 pronged case back opener, that is included iN the kit. 馃憤
I've asked my Aunt (who lives in Newquay) where she thinks this 1970's photograph of my Dad was taken. She said definitely on the headland, overlooking Fistral beach in Newquay, Cornwall, UK. She said it would have been taken during one of my Mum and Dad's summer visits to Cornwall in the 1970's
Well, I'm planning a trip to Cornwall this summer and would love to find the spot, on the headland, and try to re-create this photograph of my Dad wearing his much loved, Old Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65, nearly 50 years later.
On June 9th 2023, It will be 20 years since my Dad passed away! I think for me to re-create this photograph, sitting exactly where he sat, back in the 1970's, gazing at the Atlantic Ocean, wearing his lovely old Speedy, would be a fitting tribute to mark the 20th anniversary of the passing of my dear old Dad.
(P.S. Look at how black the dial was in the 1970's)
The question is: what do you think of the spring bar tool?... and what's all that other stuff for?
