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

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

Dave TurnerVery 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.

Bruce StewartThis 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.

Peter KaszubskiGreat watch and the satisfaction that you got it back ticking priceless!
Enjoy the watch Bruce.

Bruce StewartThis 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).

Bill JonesGreat 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.
