Got my 145.022-74 ST back from my watchmaker, all serviced but without any polishing. It’s on a new Omega bracelet cause I’m bored with the 1171 it came with.
This is the watch I bought in a San Francisco pawn shop in 1982. I wore it every day for about five years, including the day my wife and I were married. This is the first time I had it serviced (!)

I opened it to see how the movement looks now.

It fascinates me that it’s a very low serial number for a -74, in fact TOO low a number for either of the 145-022-71 models, although completed earlier. The movement is in the -74 range, but it also fits into the -69 ranges.

I’m very pleased.
