In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family").

Sold!

: I was directed to this forum by a fellow enthusiast.

: The following is the link to the last ad that I placed for this
: watch on a different forum:

: 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. $1250
: US plus actual shipping cost to US destinations.

: I have many references to offer from many years of
: buying/selling/trading on other forums.

: Cheers!
