    Finally, after a five month process, my calendar at 6:00 Seamaster! This began when I was rummaging through a can of Omega bumper automatic parts watches, looking for a part for a member of the repair fraternity. I found the centre wheel he wanted. I discovered the waffle dial that you see, plus the rest of the movement partially dismantled, but no case! I gathered all the bits and put it back together. That's when the process started. OF member Tritium became aware of my search for a case, and wonder of wonders, he had an extra NOS steel case which he made available to me! On closer examination, I realized why the watch had been "retired" about 40 years ago! RUST! After a lengthy process of glass brushing, polishing parts, replacing a few parts from my "stash", soaking the pillar plate in alum to dissolve a broken screw, cleaning, and fitting into the case. The result! I have a couple things yet that I need to do. One is to replace a peculiar "stair-step"like case clamp, and then put a better strap image.jpg onto it. For the time being, it is my favourite watch. Oh yes! In case anyone notices (and I am certain someone will), I used a generic crown. That will be replaced with the genuine item, over time.

    Just got it sized and inspected at the Omega boutique. The X-33 is going to be staying in the box for a few weeks now.
