Face:
It actually looks better than this picture. The hands appear to be tarnished in the photo. Confused

Hi Peter, I do believe yours is a later version, the dial configuration is different and the word "Chronograph" has disappeared from yours Wink

Very nice Bruce,
Chris recently restored a bubbleback Perpetual Oyster, that looked much like this one for a friend of mine. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the after results.

here is my Ball Trainmaster. It was given as a retirement watch to R,M,Peart of the EJ&E Railway {Elgin,Joliet& Eastern Ry} in 1964. If possible I would like to know who Mr Peart was.

This is a 1938 Omega that I just finished restoring. It is 15j, 12 ligne, cal. 100 movement. In 2010 I bought the movement on eBay. It didn't have a crown and the stem was broken off inside the movement. It ran, but would stop every now and then, so I did a COA on it. I found a nice case in my inventory that fit, but still had the problem with the broken stem. Just this week I tried matching up the broken stem with something from my inventory. I came up with one that was close, but not close enough. I decided to see if I could cut down the two areas on the stem that were too big. This was my first attempt at actually cutting metal on my lathe. Happy to say, I successfully reduced the dimensions of the stem in three different areas and it is now fully functional in the watch. I picked out an oversized crown from my crown collection and that finished off the project. Band is genuine crocodile.

This is a 10.5 ligne Rolex dating to around 1930 or 1931. Not quite finished with the project, but had it together enough to wear today. Project started with a solid gold, NOS case that I found on eBay 3 years ago. After a lot of procrastination I finally got around to installing a period correct movement, dial, stem, etc. I still need to restore the damage to the dial down around 5:00. May take it all apart and do a COA also at some point (maybe over the winter when I am snowed in, hahaha).

Great looking Omega and Rolex.

Here is my Omega 1953-54 cal.354 Constellation, SS with gold arrowhead markers and hands.

And of course, the cross hairs are the cherries on top. Smile
