    My trusty 3752.50 Speedy Hesalite Sandwich needed some TLC. It was losing time significantly on a daily basis.

    The left side of the case and bezel also had a nasty ding that required attention.

    I went for Simon Freese to service and to fix the case and bezel after reading many recommendations here.

    After a few weeks, it came back looking absolutely fab.

    Simon removed the ding on case and managed to rescue the bezel.

    My Speedy now keeps excellent time!

    Many thanks to Simon and Kelly Freese - highly recommended to give your OMEGA some TLC!

    Oh, that's a beauty. I do have a soft spot for the 3752.50.

    How satisfying to get it serviced and refreshed too.

    Some Before pics would be nice, as the After pics look great.

    Probably worth it to move to England just to have Simon service my watches…

    Simon serviced my 1958 Ranchero just before I purchased it. I'm in the US, but I purchased the watch from a seller in London.

    As mentioned, it required a service as it was losing time daily.

    Simon managed to remove the case ding and lessen the bezel damage.

    All done within 5 weeks!

    Simon Freese is definitely highly recommended!

    I had a Hesalite Sandwich. I really miss that watch--perfect combination and looked incredible on a Komfit bracelet. What bracelet will you be using with your brand new watch, OP?

    I usually wear with a brown Geckota leather strap or a black Hawkrigger Calypso Riggerband... never got use to the original OMEGA bracelet 1998/849.

    I have considered the Komfit in the past but can't decide!

    Can't really go wrong with a brown strap on a Speedy! :)

    Love that color. Is that an OEM Omega calfskin strap? Buckle, right?

    I purchased the strap a few months and the brown has a fab leather patina developing.

    It's actually a Geckota strap and is decent length (not too long) and looks very similar to the OMEGA one!

    The 16mm buckle is OEM and was purchased for another OMEGA long since gone.
