Just returned from a servicing. When I bought it from a private seller here on OF he advertised it as "runs perfectly, as expected."

That turned out to be over 3 minutes fast when I got it, with him saying that's good for a watch this age. Lol!

Now I'm no expert but it runs 12 seconds fast, dial up - that's much closer to "runs perfect." In my opinion at least.

This was not in the plan or the budget, but my wife has turned out to be a bad influence.

While visiting our youngest son in Silicon Valley last weekend, we stopped into the San Jose mall, which turned out to be a watch-shopper's paradise -- boutiques for almost every brand you read about on all the watch-fanatic sites. I had planned to only go to the TAG Heuer boutique, but my wife decided we should stop in the Omega boutique on our way to TH. While there, I looked at a couple of watches and then my wife says I should try on the moonwatch I was looking at. So, we sat down with the salespeople (we had two waiting on us, was a slow moment at the store), and I tried it on. It was very nice. But, just as I was about to take it off and hand it back, my wife starts saying, "Just do it. You know you're going to get one eventually anyway. Plus it looks really good on you."

So... you can probably guess what came home with us. 馃槈

And, I did not want to leave the impression this was personalized for me....just that these two came together when I bought it and I was lucky the original owner had huge wrists and it fit from the word, GO....And I'm certainly not a Master Diver!

Good that you have a memento from your Father.
Ah, was gonna ask if you had gotten the history. Olongapo's are pretty uncommon, I ended up getting one made for me as well, although mine is my wings and intel badge. Glad it fits your wrist!
