Oh snap I was wearing my mundane speedy to a training this AM I got home and realized I have not worn my radito for a while I felt bad for it, took the watch out, apologized to it and placed it on.

I then thought back to people on the spectrum I have worked with. They tend to personify inanimate objects. I had a guy who would have long conversations with his radio. I always knew I’m a bit of myself but perhaps I finally blew a major gasket and require a check up from the neck up.

I didn’t do the H-D Screamin’ Eagle Stage IV 131 motor build on my H-D [the local H-D dealership did the build] but I did build my ETA 6497-1 flieger at AWCI build-a-watch school…currently at a local car & motorcycle cruise event in Cincinnati…

True, and don’t forget to thank your watch box for holding onto your watches and not stealing them. Think of all the time watch boxes have to plan a heist when ur away.

My quadrant dial Seamaster Deville. Quadrant 1 and 3 are sunburst, while 2 and 4 are horizontally brushed. Not as prominent as I'd like, but will sometimes pop in the right light.

That's a beauty as well. Mine was butchered for the movement, that's basically the same as in the Speedmasters from 1968-1972 or so. Found myself a new balance and other stuff I needed, now just waiting for my watchmaker. What's the matter with yours?
Really only what can be seen, just a missing pusher and needs either a lens sand and polish or replacement.
The movement is sparkling clean and runs very well keeping excellent time.
Chronograph functions all working as should but obviously needs a service given it overall exterior condition and unknown service history.

The only thing stopping me getting it complete is I can't find the correct pusher to match the other original pusher.
Next step is to send to the Omega agents to see if they can find the matching pusher from the Omega spares, as you say Tissot and Omega collaborated heavily in these watches in design and manufacture, whilst Tissot don't have the pusher Omega might.
