I agree with you; there’s probably a lot more bad watchmakers out there than lost parcels. But I will give it a try.

Marco Cantiani (owner) is a forth generation of watchmakers; he is very passionate and showed a lot of experience and knowledge about the Speedmasters.

Obviously he is a certified watchmaker and also an Omega dealer.

I am confident he has what it takes to bring this old timepiece back to life with respect to its vintage history

Thanks again for your great comments

UPDATE......

Hi all,

My precious timepiece has come back from the watchmaker (Bijouterie Dominic, Omega dealer in Montreal) 😀
It looks just awsome and runs like brand new. Complete service, crystal, pushers, crown and mainspring.

I am very happy and will wear it proudly; great sentimental value from my dad who bought it brand new in 1971.

Many thanks for all your comments; greatly appreciated.

It looks great and is ready for you and future generations in your family to enjoy. My father’s watch is my favourite timepiece I own, so I can understand why this is very special for you. Wear and enjoy.

Hello all,

I have been monitoring the Speedy accuracy for the last week (using https://time.is web site); amazingly, it remains "spot on". +/- 0.0 seconds after one week. I am very impressed 😀

Marco Cantiani (Bijouterie Dominic) told me he was impressed when calibrating the watch after servicing.

I swapped the 1039/516 bracelet for leather straps for a more sporty look.

I am very happy!
