The following is the link to the last ad that I placed for this watch:

It is now back on the market. This time it is being offered freshly serviced, and with a brand new original crystal. Now you can see how amazingly the dial has aged!
I had the watchmaker remove the movement for servicing, and I sent the watch case out for restoration while I waited for the new crystal and gaskets to arrive. I was promised delivery of the case in 10 days. Alas, when I arrived to pick it up, the restorer said that he hadn't done it yet. That made my day! I was never really keen on doing it anyway as this is a 41 year old watch, and it looks pretty darn good as is!
The crystal gasket that came from Omega was the wrong size and the first attemt at installing scraped off a small amoumt of paint from the crystal edge. This was touched up and is hardly noticeable. I brought the watch to another watchmaker to have it fit for a correct gasket.
Any spots you see on the crstal are lint.
It is now back in my hands. Maybe a few extra scratches for all the effort, but it looks great and runs great.
I am now asking $1350 cdn shipped to any address in Canada.
Cheers!
