Omega 2577-11 case restoration attempt

Yup.
There is a matching chunk missing from the case as well. Where the gasket is missing. Looks like someone attempted to drill a hole in it. Or tried to pry the back off with something that twisted.

I actually got this for the movement (552) of course I now have another 552 movement (mostly) waiting for a new sweep pinion and some other things. This is how such parts watches breed. Downside is the midwifery fees add up quickly.

No question that there is a market for restoring cheap heirlooms. Not sure how big it is, but you could corner it. ;-)

But seriously, I agree that you shouldn’t tell people how to spend their money. I’d never suggest that.
