Not recently back from the spa, but currently AT the spa. My spa. I’ve serviced these three in the past few hours. Now time to turn out the shop lights, and watch a CFL game. A Longines diver’s model (quartz), a Gerard Perregaux automatic, and an Omega manual winder.

Posted on WRUW but my silver 666 just came back. I have hunted for years to find a clean sliver dialed early 666 and they are always trashed. Other than the leopard spotted lume, the dial is in really good shape.

Just got this back and I’m super excited. Took 5 months too the day to CLA both the camera and the lens, which is faster than I expected. Got a pile of film ready to be run through it.

Now… just waiting to get my Speedy back from Kelly Hunter

Take two. Sent out this M3 (from the post I quoted) for warranty servicing a couple months ago and just signed for it. Back in tip top shape for being roughly 60 years old. Super crisp frame lines 👍

And much like the last go around, now all I’m waiting for is a SMP300, which is also out for warranty servicing at Omega.

Nice timing. Came in the mail yesterday from @ATracyWatches. Beautiful correct Pogue. Back on the Uncle Seiko bracelet and my wrist.

Thanks Ashton. Appreciate it.

Just got this back from Omega who serviced it under warranty. Put it on my matching rubber strap and quite enjoying having it back.

Breaking the rules but sent this one out to the watch maker to have some fun with it. I actually like this without the bezel haha.

Looks like my watch made it way through the queue to my watch makers bench to now be worked on 😀 Excited to get this one back.

And it’s back 🥰 Complete with a frivolous metal brake upgrade to admire through the sapphire case back and a 1171, since I loved wearing this on the vintage one.

After replacing 3 cracked jewels, the hour recorder wheel, and a few other bits my 105.012-65 is back on the wrist and running fantastic! Shoutout to Kelly @ Art of the Watch for another great job!

Shoutout to Kelly @ Art of the Watch for another great job!

Kelly is awesome and gets all of my watches 👍 He currently has my TinTin again as a screw came loose

He has my Constellation and 1040 bracelet (not shown) and was able to repair the endlinks so I can finally pair them together when they come back

Once I get those back, he will get my 666 as it runs a couple minutes slow over a 24hr period

And unfortunately, earlier this year Omega repaired my SMP under warranty but it too was just sent back as it needed to be repaired again

3 pieces out at the Spa at the moment.

Got this one back yesterday. It was on a bracelet but I decided I wanted to make it by default a strap watch. The strap is a period Jacoby-Bender alligator 11/16" Long. Fortunately it was wide enough to fill 18mm. It wears a vintage Omega buckle I should probably share in the buckle thread.

Back from a long stay at the Spa. Still trying to decide if I like the bracelet. It is an Accutron signed bracelet, but not original to the watch.

Have to say that's the nicest I have seen. Pretty striking.

Thanks, I was really picky and I overpaid.
