Omega Boot Sale Redial Restore.

Here's a boot sale Omega from a few weeks back think I paid £1
for it.My watchmaker friend of many years redialed it for a favour
owed.Maybe not the most faithful of redials, but at least it gets this old timer back in use.

Pretty damned good job, if you ask me. And for GBP 1, I would say that's a hell of a bargain.

Nice job Padi...............you really are a jammy dodger. BTW my friend needs a dial restoration done on an old V&C. I'd be grateful if you could suggest someone.
