·I have been trolling on this site for some time learning about vintage Omega. The more I look at the picture the more I want one....Thanks to all for their insights and wisdom in this area...quite a group.
So anyway, I decided to buy a vintage with some criteria...must be manual wind, preferably early 50's, not SS, must have some gold, dial must be simple design, no date, prefer seconds hand but no sub-second,,,would love a Seamaster..and be less than $500 as a starter...When I put all the criteria,a expected I could not find that fit all conditions...the one I found had to be a non-Seamaster....but here we are....my new old Omega...
What I need help is in the area of cleaning.? the watch looks like the insides could help with cleaning..However it runs well, gives me 36 hours of power reserve ( on 36 turns ) and keeps accuracy a minute in 36 hours...I thought that was pretty good for a 1954 watch...So if I send it to clean, will I get better accuracy? Will that preserve the movements longer? Thoughts
