With Ruben's permission of course I'm posting these pics for your viewing pleasure. Who doesn't like a restoration?
Well this is the Story. Ruben was looking for someone to restore his friends watch, and I contacted him to let him know that my partners and I are into restoring Omega cases. He sent me the watch and the rest follows as pics. Thanks Ruben!

Omegas are fun and challenging to restore but when you do it right, the results are worth the hurdles. Maybe Ruben has a before pic. I only have a few disassembled before pics. This watch was also serviced and fitted with a new original crystal.

Looks good, Dalton. The case still maintains nice, crisp edges.

Excellent reference [how about an Omega mesh on that???

] and excellent results, Dalton.
