What a great outcome. Nice rescue :-D
I do believe, I found the guy who owned it ;-) https://youtu.be/oU5pEXya-CMOriginally Posted by heuerkane
My car boot omega speedmaster arrived yesterday afternoon after undergoing a service by simon freese. Luckily the welding spots polished off leaving no holes. As you can see the dial and hands have a beautiful patina. I'm very pleased with the results.
My best knife is a hand made Gary Mills Timberwolf with Alder root scales and matching firesteel. Dark Brown sheaf. ;-)
A late congrats on the find!
Watch looks great after the service. Great job done there!
Looks amazing! I have one of these and am dreading getting it serviced as I've heard it's difficult and expensive. Was it reasonable from Simon?
A thing of dreams, literally!

Wow, now that is a good restoration! Kudos to Simon, excellent job!
Instantly found myself on Chrono24 looking at these after this thread. Absolutely lovely piece there.
Bit of a wired one really this especially from someone who babies his beater watches and I am not joking.
I am very jealous of such a great find and It looks absolutely fantastic after the service and re finish, I have always had a bit of a desire for the mkii nearly pulled the trigger on couple of occasions.
I keep looking at the before and after pics and wondering If I could have worn this watch with just an ultrasonic clean, bracelet straightening, polished or replaced glass but most importantly a full service. I know the watch look fantastic refurbished. However it just looks like all the rest know and has lost its unecness I know it's rediculouse to suggest wearing a watch full of welding slag but that's what I keep thinking.
cheers and no offence intended to the owner who's done a great job.

ps please hold the offers to sell all your trashed watches to this sucker.

Next time I smash my watch against something leaving a nasty gash I'll keep your offer in mind.
