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!

Enjoy another one of my shitty phone pics. This is my ‘73 Timex Mercury. It just went through surgery and had it’s movement swapped last night.
