Getting this watch back to life was kind of a challenge, the watch suffered water damages and probably hit the floor as well at some point.

Stupidly enough I didn't took pics of the process... :facepalm:

The bezel was stucked by rust.
The dial had several marks from water and is bent at 7.
The inside of the case also was rusted and had deposit from the drawning.
The movement had lots of rust spots and broken parts.

The movement is a Calibre 1120. Basically it's an ETA 2892 that has been modified by Omega (not only decorated).

I performed a full service, worked on the rust spots, and replaced the damaged parts. The rotor is still a little loose because of the rust that has been removed, but other than that the movement is running fine.

Hands have also been replaced.

Finally, watch has been waterproofed back and tested to 10 ATM.

True wizard... and if the bezel gets replaced it would be almost as good as new
