She arrived this past Wednesday and I've held off for a couple of reasons. I wanted to check timing and power reserve before I posted.Timing is spot-on and I couldn't resist wearing it so I wound it after 36 hours to make sure I could show her off ;-) Thank you GWR in Philadelphia PA. A special Shout-out to Manny and the terrific Customer Service crew. Out of respect to other Omega repair specialists on this forum, please PM me for specifics. Not to worry, I contacted Archer first.

Please understand This watch is going to be on my wrist every day. I'm well aware of her short comings, but she "ain't too shabby". Although both the chrono sweep and crystal are new, at least they are the correct versions: Long tail sweep and logo crystal.

Let me show you what I originally sent to the spa:

That's a beauty @MikiJ ! Congrats and nice work!

 

awesome restoration Miki, what a difference.
Glad you're going to wear it and not put it away in a drawer. All watches deserve a good home.

 

Very nice Miki. Congrats on a nice daily wearer!!

 

Hello Miki,

I'm glad you are enjoying your "old girl". It was a pleasure working with you and we at GWR appreciate your kind words.

Best Regards,

Israel

 

I would've replaced all of the hands but it looks terrific and I know you're going to love wearing it. Once you get a fantastic classic it's hard to wear anything else!

lovely example,make me want to show of mine know

 

That was an option I was offered. I wanted to keep it as much original as possible. Seeing as how the original hands were stiil in good shape I only replaced the incorrect modern chrono sweep with a more correct one.

I would enjoy any others' opinions of my choice: Good and Bad.

 

The pleasure was all mine

However you will want to post your own Avatar before something ugly gets posted for you

 

Will do!

 

Your choice is your choice. You're wearing the watch and you decide how you want it to be.

Tom

 

Thanx and I appreciate what you're saying. I would also be grateful for some other opinions.

 

Miki, sometimes you have to take a gamble in life and I know you took a gamble on this one.
Glad it worked out for you and no other parts were needed to get her back into shape.
