·These are wonderful watches and I think you found the most desirable dial scheme
The 861 movement is less fussy than 321.
Enjoy!!

·I've had some stressful things happen in my life lately, so when I saw this auction pop up, I was determined to win it. My wife calls it "retail therapy".
Also, this kind of weird coincidence: I'm running 500 miles for a fundraiser. I totaled up my mileage the day the auction was ending and it was 145.16 miles. I took that as a sign that I really needed to win this auction 😂

·I really liked this one from the thread. Glad you won it, and you'd better post the "after" pics! Or else!

·Dropped it off with the only Omega certified watchmaker I know of in my area. It will be a minimum of 3 months until he'll be finished servicing it.
The watch also came with a 1162 bracelet, but it's too short for me. Looks like Uncle Seiko sells link that could work, so I'm going to give that a whirl.

·Coming up on 5 months since I dropped this watch off for a service. I was told 3 - 6 months, so hopefully I'll be able to pick it up soon. Might swing by the shop this weekend for as status update.

·These photos are really motivating me to get mine relumed. I've been tempted to sell it (or more accurately, financially cornered into doing so) in the past and am glad I still have it. A very spiffy hunk of watch. Finding a bracelet for it really sealed the deal for me.
