Sent it in for fixing

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

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?

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.
