Before...and after
Restoration can be beautiful. Not inexpensive...but beautiful. Here are two views of the same watch, before and after a trip to the gnomes. Note the replaced marker at 3, and the new crown. You don't want to read the list of replacements and refurbishments done! Also, while it's not obvious, the bracelet has had it's last removable link removed, and the maximum slack taken up at the clasp (this clasp has 6 positions), so that it now actually fits my puny 6 1/4 left wrist - but it won't go any smaller without major surgery. Actually...I *might* loosen it by one position. This bracelet looks like steel, but feels like (broken in) leather.
From 1963 (and 2015), the classic Omega Constellation piepan - silver on silver - Dorian Gray's personal timepiece.
La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un cœur d'homme; il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux.
