·Moving some things along to pay bills... and with my inability to let the 200m go... well, something had to give, and if I'm honest with myself, the Baby PloProf hasn't been worn more than a handful of times since STS worked their magic... so it's being put up for sale.
I bought this in the Fellows Watch Sale, October 2016, with lume falling out of the hands, a filthy case, and a movement that was in dire need of a service.
Movement has a 42 million serial, pointing year of production to 1979.
Thankfully the team at STS were on hand - the case was stripped and ultrasonically cleaned, the sides and case back bevel, were sympathetically returned to the correct finish, the hands were replaced with NOS Tritium hands from stock, the movement was fully overhauled, new genuine Omega mineral glass, crown, and seals were fitted.
Please note that it is a 40 year old watch, so there is some wear, the only worth calling to attention, and visible in the images is a slight indentation to the bevel of the left hand side at 7 o'clock - STS offered a full refinish, but I felt that keeping the watch as original as possible was best.
It comes with the balance of a 2 year STS service guarantee, which runs until 23/12/2018
It comes on a 22mm Eulit Palma Panama 2 piece Perlon strap for that legitimate 70s dive watch feel.
Asking £2500 net to me - including shipping within the U.K., but ideally face to face.
Head down a couple of posts for the pictures
Any questions please PM me.
Cheers!
