Hi mate....
I bought the watch in another forum.
The ref. is 166.0324
I tweaked the watch only for the mesh bracelet.
The slight aging was done by the previous owner.
Here are some pictures:
that's all. :bigwink:
Looking at all his work on omega Forum and here on RWI he clearly knows what he is doing and has an Omega parts account, The work he did on Marons is incredible and his documentation and price break down fantastic. He will also be faster then Omega , more affordable and will follow my directions.

Was just screwing around and thought this pic was pretty cool.
The hands look like they are just floating over the dial.

Cool [emoji41] just curious! Yeah, I love the way he documents everything!! I will need a lot of movement parts replaced, so I think I will be sending mine to omega.. but if it wasn't for those parts, I would be sending it to him.

I think you would save a lot of money an time with Archer, He rebuilds the movements as well as Omega from what I read.
I was under the impression if a lot of movement parts needed to be replaced, Omega was cheaper as most of them are included in the lump sum they charge. Archer charges per part, as he has to make a living. But I could be wrong, I thought that's what I gathered from @omega_guy and @marons part breakdown.. but I know archer does a hell of a lot better job at refinishing he bracelet.

Parts replacement is included in Omega service fee, where as Archer charges a cheaper service fee but charges cost on parts replacement.
That said, I know not all of the parts which may need replacing are covered in the omega service fee. I believe some parts are excluded, ones that do not normally need replacing or are more expensive.
Omega service fee also includes refinishing of case and bracelet, where as archer charges separate for that.
When I used archer he was about 15% more expensive than I expect Omega would have been. But I think it was worth it

Being that the watch came from the same source as yours.. I'd assume similar things are wrong. We will see..
I would expect that unfortunately. Check out a post archer made on omega forums two days ago detailing his findings on a "recently serviced" watch that came in his shop.

I don't know for sure but they could be. Certainly describes mine. Mine ended up needing a few parts replaced including I believe, the balance, for $130.
