On The Bench; Omega SM Cosmic cal 601 (it's a little rough...)

Came to me as a "bag of parts". Thought I might use it as a donor movement, but then had some warm feelings towards the groovy Jeffersonia dial...



Some rust, just a question of how deep the rabbit hole gets once it's all broken down.



Must have been water incursion via the stem tube.



Keeping the mailman busy 😀



Back together & running strong.



Normally I would want to leave the original lume untouched, but with the dial in as rough a shape as it is, don't feel guilty about leaving my mark on this old guy with a re-lume.



Back in action.



Hope everyone is in good shape for a nice (US) long weekend!

Nice work bringing it back to life. Looks good to me mate.

Thanks for sharing!

I like the calibre 601.

Thanks, I like that Jeffersonia dial, too. Wish today's Omega's offered something unique & distinctive like this.
