: I got sick of shovelling snow (December in
: Canada) and came inside to warm up. Turned
: out to be a perfect day for indoor
: photography.
: Anyway, I ended up getting just the right light
: to capture all of the abuse that this
: Hesalite crystal has taken in the past 42
: years, assuming the crystal is original and
: the watch really is a '65. I also got lucky
: with this particular pic...I was able to
: clearly capture the Omega logo in the center
: of the crystal, which is usually tough for
: me.
: I've had a tough time deciding, but I'm going
: to go ahead and replace the hands &
: crystal with new pieces. The minute hand is
: too far gone to restore and the scratched
: crystal is hiding a wonderfully clean dial.
: I am going to leave the bezel insert intact.
: It feel it adds character and the bezel
: insert itself is dent free. Stay tuned for
: updated pics.
: John
Did you see my comments on your thread below?
The collector's dilemma -- leave as, stabilize, restore or replace? I think you have made good choices . . .
Wonderful photos . . .
Ugh!! -- shoveling snow. Makes my mild shivering because it was 28 degrees F this morning and a sunny day in the 40s now seem just silly.
