Hi, unfortunately I’ve put too much effort into the cleaning of the bakelit bezel of my seamaster 60. (see photo, looks worse in real)

Hello All
Continue readingI recovered a holy grail recently,
but it suffered not very respectful treatment from a watchmaker during its life and quite a few parts were changed.

I will have it restored soon, although wearing the watch with its service dial is not so bad,
my biggest concern is…

Rattling noise on vintage Omega
Hi there, I’m looking in to buying a vintage seamaster but I’ve been informed that it has a rattling sound when you shake the watch. I know it hasn’t been serviced in a while so I’m sure that’s part of the problem but does anyone have any idea if this is “normal” for a 60’s seamaster? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Comprehensive Omega Admiralty thread!
Hello friends. I just acquired this “beater” 1969 Admiralty and I really love it, but since they’re not as popular and produce fewer detailed WIS discussions (yet, and YES, I’ve looked) I figured what better place to ask some questions than the OF!….
