Hi Edward
Nice example , but the crown is incorrect. It should have a bullet nosed screwdown crown .... not a major issue but one I would correct at your next service. The black gunk on the winding wheels appears to be old o-ring material that decomposed over time....
Good Hunting

Careful...very careful...
After the recent slip up with the 2 redial Omega Military I have been very CAREFUL. And here again I want to share with you all a learning experience. After being less impulsive and with a little home work I was able to acquire my first Diver. Here are th...
Aah, you caught me for 2 or 3 seconds.

He!he! Nico, that was my intention...
To deceive(not exactly, just tease) those who know. But help those who don't. Thank you for your nice words. You miss your 2 SM. Have you sold them? Or you haven't given them wrist-time? As for mine, it does not look as bad on my small wrist in flesh. Che...
No, Ed ...
Sadly my 2 SM are gone with the burglars... And I will have big issues to find these 2 pieces again, as they were in great condition, with an outstanding patina. Best, Nicolas.
Sorry about that Nico..
May those perpetrators be cursed and damned. And for you I wish you luck that some day you will find what you lost. Ed

Thank you for your comments...
Hi Bill, Thanks for your evaluation. I have replaced the faulty setting lever, setting bridge and the arbor I had my doubts about the button. Thanks again. Cheers Ed
Thank you very much Jim ...
You made me feel very good. And you are darn right, I will ENJOY the SM. Ed
congratulations Ed, a good honest one is hard to find and you've done it
yep, its not perfect, the crown as Bill pointed out and the loss of lume on the hour hand, but its honest and wears its age well. i think my little trio should say hello best Graham...
thank you Graham...
A nice trio indeed. Now you should look for the date version. Ed...
i would do Ed, but...
i would do Ed, but there's no date version from 1964 which means, according to my strict criteria, i'll never have a date version. i need the criteria to avoid me buying every watch i see and being bankrupted in weeks best G...
That's a nice criteria
You have your criteria Whereas I have my wife to keep a check on my bank balance. :o) Ed
Thank you Blomman..
Not a perfect pcs, but that's ok for my first diverr. And of course it will be loved. Ed
Could this have been a Pirate's watch...
Considering the "bullet hole" in the hour hand - LOL As always, wear in good health. Miki
Pirates can't dive, can they?
And a harpoon hole is more appropriate. ;o) Thanks Mikij. Best Ed This message has been edited by Edward Lee on 2011-03-11 09:22:36
