Last Sunday I went to Belgium...

....and picked up a few of my vintage Omega's.
My watchmaker did a overhaul on them.

I picked up 5 but I have only pictures of two of them, rest will follow soon..

First this one, bought it on Ebay for only a few $$, worth a try I thought...
When the postman brought it it was horrible, the case was very dirty and the movement made a terrible noise..
But then again, what can you expect for only $30,-.....

After my watchmaker was done with it it looked like this...

Needless to tell you all that I am VERY happy with the result.

The second one was the Omega that I gave to my mom about a year ago.
After a complete service it's ready for years of duty..

Gave it back to her last evening, she was so thrilled she had tears in her eyes..

Like I promised, the rest will follow soon..

Nice pictures Gerard and a very nice gesture for your mum. I must get the address of your watchmaker, he sounds good.

Thanks Adrian, this one brought back my love for vintage Omega dress watches.
These manufacterer timepieces can still be had for just a few bucks.
And man what a quality....
