We’re headed out camping with friends for a few days. My watch of choice is a 65-year old Omega calibre 351, “bumper” automatic. This one came to me as almost a basket case, and I have replaced the case, dial, crown (yeah, I know it is incorrect), crystal, mainspring, gasket, and conditioned it (again, just last week). This dial is by no means perfect, but it is a whole lot better than the original. It is a “survivor”, and it has proven to be able to last, although it is not my intention to try to destroy it.
My oldest is finally old enough to be trusted to walk the dog. Figure I’ve got maybe a year before he figures out it is a chore
