A birthday present for my wife

A while back I saw a nice manual wind Seamaster on the sales forum, and I made a deal with the seller, and it arrived not long after.

It was most certainly in need of service, so here disassembled:



Service went well, and it's keeping time well. Case was in nice condition, but I wanted to see if I could get some water resistance, so new case back seal of course, and I replaced the worn out case tube:



Serviced and back in the case:



Case back is in good shape:



It had a nice big generic crown on it, but wanted a proper Omega one with a new seal:



And that case work paid off, as it passed the pressure testing:



Looks good - crystal was genuine and in good shape:



And she loves it of course:



Even if she didn't like, I liked it enough that I would wear it certainly!

Anyway, thanks for looking.

Cheers, Al

Marvelous! Thanks for letting us know that sometimes, you use your expertise to indulge yourself (and your better half). Well deserved - and a gorgeous watch!

Looks lovely and a nice classic design. How nice to spend some time working on something for your wife as a change from business.

Cheers, Chris
