Hi. I'm new in your forum and hope to find some good advices.
I have recently acquired a vintage stopwatch called, I think, "Nuit Spatiale". I don't know the OMEGA reference for such a model.
Unfortunately, the case is not mint and would deserve some attention to restore its original aspect.
Could you direct me to watchmaker or expert who are able to restore such a case ?
Looking forward to receiving your comments and advices.

Don't do it.

Original = good
Shiny = quick sale on eBay to someone who just wants to say "I've got a vintage stop watch"

 

+1 Looks great as is.

 

I would imagine that it would be difficult to find a "mint" stopwatch as these are the the one true tool watch of the past. I'm picturing my asu linebacker coach with that cursed stopwatch hanging from his neck timing us on suited up 20's and 40's. ugh.

 

Hello everybody.

What a fantastic forum ! Your guys can be proud of it. Thank you for all your advices going into the same direction. I'll keep the chrono like it is and just make sure that the movement is correctly serviced. Cheers. Jean-Pierre
