Pros

· The watch is in excellent vintage condition with very sharp case & caseback, good condition bezel, and pristine hands and dial.

· The watch was serviced in early 2016 at the European Watch Company in Boston. A complete movement disassembly and cleaning was completed. A new OEM hesalite crystal (with Omega logo) was installed during service. No other parts were replaced.


Cons

· I noted before service that the hour hand totalizer would occasionally not fully reset after being used. After speaking with the watchmaker, I elected not to have the issue corrected during service as I do not use the chronograph for periods greater than one hour. The asking price of the watch has been adjusted accordingly.



Please review the pictures carefully as they are part of the description. Movement shots were taken by the watchmaker after service. Returns accepted only if the watch is not as described.


Questions welcomed.


Thanks for looking and thanks for the space OF!

Nice clean dial, i think this would have sold already if it had a DON bezel.

Very nice piece and condition.


Latest hackery from thread 'alternate to hartmanns tables' predicts a production date of August 1970 FWIW 😀

GLWS, I doubt you need it though...
