My Grandfather's Omega
Thought I share a picture of my grandfather's Omega.
Watch was given to my grandfather by his company for his long years of service and was his daily beater. He handed it down to me last year and by then the watch crystal was badly scratched, the minute hand was loose and the movement was in a rather bad shape from lack of service. Sent it back to Bienne and after a 6 month long wait I'm rather pleased with the result

It looks great, congrats! That's what I like about fine timepieces that they look great years and years later. They look carriers through the generations.

Wow, what an awesome job they did. That's a great looking Omega. I can see why you had it renovated.
