·Hi
Didn’t mean to be rude 😀
Just wanted to know if u guys think it’s a cool model and whats the best way to clean it up
I’m sure going to Omega for service will cost a fortune
U guys think I can find new hands or can this ones be recoloured? Seconds hand is black, should be orange
Any recommendations for servicing in Belgium?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yosef

·Hi

you weren't rude at all. I was referring to a previous response by another poster. hang in here as surely someone from your locale will have suggestions on service 😀

·This is a flat Jedi, a highly collectible Omega. You did very well, my friend. It will clean up nicely.
Here is mine:

·Find yourself a independent watchmaker who is familiar with vintage omega. Here is more info on the watch.

Looks to me like remnant of that decomposed gasket picked up while getting the back off. Allowable IMO.
Yosef, that watch is one that has a lot of history. Your choice, but get it cleaned, have crystal polished and leave the scars.
The OF chorus will now sing the refrain: Do NOT send it to Omega!

·So, if someone walked up to you, without introduction, and stuck out their wrist and said "what do you think of this watch", you wouldn't find that rude? If you say no, you can call me skeptical.
this is an omega collectors' forum. lots of new-to-the-hobby people sign up every day. of course usually because they have either come in possession of a vintage omega or have had their interests peaked by spotting one. it shouldn't be regarded as odd or rude if these newcomers happened to ask a question to the general membership in their first post. curt replies or snide comments may just scare off the newcomer or at least prompt them not to pursue an active membership and participation down the road, figuring this site is an "old boys club" of cliques that smugly look down on newbies.
now...what was your question again?

·You joined more recently than the other new guy and seem pretty opinionated. I am not surprised you think new comers should be treated with kid gloves and given the red carpet treatment. Generally those that are polite and friendly get an easy ride and get assistance, others less so. It's the nature of Internet forums.
i'm no stranger to internet watch forums so my opinion is based on the relatively mainstream feeling that newcomers to our hobby should be encouraged. i'm also cognizant to the fact that not every new member speaks English as a first language and a bit of leeway should be extended. however since we both seem to have a good grasp of English please point out to me where this OP's first words were impolite or unfriendly?

Abel Court has a very high reputation in the vintage Heuer world. His website mentions Omega, so he is worth a try. Be warned: like any very reputable watchmaker your watch will spend far longer waiting to be looked at than it will take to work on it. I think I have seen mentions of Abel finding hands over on the Heuer forum (OTD)
