Great restoration! I had my dad’s retirement Omega restored after he passed away, it wasn’t as extensive a job as this. Well done.

They did great work! I was between them and Michael Young but it just seemed like much less hassle to ship within the US. I am happy with my choice!

My Dad’s DD Restored!
That is a great outcome.
Was the old diamond bezel an original Rolex one or a custom job? They looked as if channel mounted. I like the new old stock one as it does a great job in echoing the barked bracelet's center links. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks! I believe that it was aftermarket. It was on the watch since before I can remember. The bark bezel is more in line with my taste. |
