Two watches today. First my 65 year old Omega bumper, date at 6, calibre 355 Seamaster in a NOS stainless steel case. It was on the correct date when I retrieved it, so why not show it?
And after a quick wrist switch. I showed this one yesterday in a thread replying to a post concerning an under-performing Omega calibre 283 that had just been purchased by the chap. I wanted to see if an Omega calibre 283 could be a performer. So I reconditioned my own calibre 283, and fitted a new mainspring. After a few minutes of final adjusting and regulating, the timing machine showed great amplitude, but a very slight loss in four positions. I’m a believer that final adjusting should be done after testing a serviced watch on the wrist. I finished this one 20 hours ago. After 12 hours, it was 3 seconds fast. As I type, it is still exactly 3 seconds fast! Pretty good for a 70 year old non-chronometer. I don’t need to be informed of the terrible refinish of the dial, thanks!
