    Happy birthday, what a nice gift! Whoever bought it for you must really love you. Personally if it was mine.. a service and I’d leave it as is. I’m no expert though. Congrats! Maybe some more pictures?

    Very nice watch and bracelet. Be sure to leave everything on the case and dial, hands and crown just as they are, No polish on the case. That would really, really take value off of that watch.

    Has the old guy got a brother I can talk to?

    Congrats. Thats a heck of a gift. Like others have said, just service. Don't let any one polish or replace anything.

    Omega will try to restore the watch to "as new" condition - replacing the hands, dial, bezel, etc. That would ruin what is special about this watch!

    Also they will charge you an arm and a leg.

    [QUOTE = "propervinyl, post: 882161, member: 30907"] Omega proverà a ripristinare l'orologio nella condizione "come nuova" - sostituendo le lancette, il quadrante, la lunetta, ecc. Ciò rovinerebbe la cosa speciale di questo orologio!

    Inoltre ti caricano un braccio e una gamba. [/ QUOTE]

    No grazie. I dont touch It. Omega It is crazy
