Finally found and independent Omega specialist that may be able to repair my father's watch.

Crossing my fingers...

Nice vintage. What you having done exactly? Full service, and refurbish? Would be nice to see that beauty back to how it was when sold new.

I take it there's a pretty cool story behind the engraving...?

Does it read "ditto darling, Maria"? Had your father given your mother a watch with "I love you" on the case back?

Please update when restored. Would love to see it after the service. Best of luck!

I'd love to see how it looks when it comes back!

Mick8moses · 20 October 2013, 11:11 AM

Thanks I'll show you guys when it comes back!

I can't believe I forgot the best shot...

Beautiful movement!

Great piece!

I noticed you said "may be able" to repair the watch. If they can't help, give Al at Archer Watches in Canada a shout (easy to find with Google). He has an Omega parts account and lots of sources for hard to find parts. He had to search for a while but eventually found a jewel to replace on from my great grandfather's Elgin pocket watch.

Good luck Mick, can't wait to see it once it's done, wonderful heirloom!
