This was in the watch makers stash Few weeks ago I took it to the AD to send to Omega to see if it worth servicing as it was a non runner Quote came back over £1000 for service and various parts Went to AD today to pick it back up noticed the hands had moved opened it up and put a new battery in it and now its happily ticking away Ordered a new crown £30 quid from ebay
Good to hear an old 1342 is working again. Might not last though as they are pretty temperamental in my experience ;-)
