    Aloha all ,

    I was at work Friday morning and I stopped in the convience store to get a cup of coffee . The superintendent of the job , [I had never talked to him before ] , also came in to get some coffee ,....and being the WIS that I am , asked him what kind of watch he was wearing . I told him that I collected watches , and he said that a colleague of his also collected watches and gave him the Bulova he was wearing .

    He brought the fellow to meet me and he said He had an old chunky Omega in a drawer at home that he bought new 40 years ago and asked if I would be interested in it , .....you know my answer .
    He brought in this Omega Speedmaster Mark II from around 1969 ,'70 . Everything works as it should , and I was able to pick it up at a great price .

    Well, I wished I had an occurrence like that. What is the case condition like, given that its a plated finish?

    Watch out for the flexible rear seal too. I am sure you are aware, that black flexible seal paste gets on everything.
