Restoring A Vintage Rose Gold Omega From 1944 

Adam you see there are genuine people out there ,take the watch and extend your channel ,we like to here nice stories like this ,

Orgasmic!! Damn thats a tiny movement!! Really does take some skill to work with these smaller movements! Hats off!!

Great job Adam, that turned out fantastic! Wonderful story on the generous viewer who contributed it, as well. There is so much kindness and appreciation in the watchmaking community.😁

Wow, absolutely beautiful watch. Classy in its simplicity. Thanks for a terrific video.

That is gorgeous!

Fully enjoyed every second of this resto and the story behind the watch arriving at your bench!

Very interesting video thank you

Thank you Adam. This is the closest I will ever get to an Omega. Really enjoyed the commentary, the story and the information about working on the assembly. Felt like I was there.

That is a gorgeous watch...enjoyed. Thank you.

Great job,wow

I've always loved the vintage Omega. Thanks for a great video!

Awesome work! Learned something new as well, the bit about adjusting the balance so that the jewel is centered between the posts. I've never seen that before. Good info. Thanks :)

Thank you sharing this video, very nice :)

Just completed the 5k subscriber celebration and already at 8.2k and counting! Good for you!!

Beautiful watch! Wonderful channel !

Gorgeous Omega! Thanks for the video! 😊

Great video!

Thank you Peter and thank you Adam.

Gorgeous watch! I love your content!

As cool at the watch is I simply can not believe it didn't make it into space!!! Great video as always.

Beautiful watch, and nice work. The balance spring 'leveling' was an interesting part.

Lovely work and a pleasure to watch.

Beautiful watch, great story, wonderful result. Keep it up.

You got me hooked Adam I just had a Seiko 5 ,7009 movement delivered today. My first mechanical auto wind watch. Got it on E-bay from India under $50 . It's Brilliant I am so happy !!!. Thanks for getting me hooked.

I'm a big fan of your videos, I suffer from PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder and your videos pacify all that. I literally play them constantly (much to the dismay of my wife most days😂) But I just wanted to say thank you for helping me. Also, I own a Waltham Railroad watch, I was wondering if you wanted my business for a service on it? It's a really gorgeous watch, I just can't find anyone to service it in my area😢! It's running, it just doesn't like to stay running for me. I wear it, so I'd love for it to tell time lol. I hope to hear from you🙂

Simple but elegant

Great job Adam.. now just need to swap out that black seconds hand with a gold colored one. lol

Wow, it turned out beautifully.

I have an Omega 267. Its about 20 years newer. Looks similar. Thanks for the video Adam

I'm 5 mins into the video - beautiful watch all around

Good job!

EXCELENTE SERVIÇO 👍👍 🇧🇷

Great video love the color of the rose gold they really knew there business back then

what a stunning old omega. thanks for sharing

Great looking watch, thanks to Peter for letting us see it serviced

Beautiful watch, I've always loved Omega. I'd love to own one.

Beautiful you did great on repairing this watch

Awesome dude great job 👍

Beautiful watch. My grail piece in my collection is an Omega.

Hey! Your voice sounds like Marshall's voice from Wristwatch Revival. It's kind of impressive.

Beautiful watch and a wonderful video my friend. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful watch. Thanks for sharing.

What should be the frequency of service 🤔 on your watch ⌚️? The oil 🛢 and grease 🤔 turn to paste after time ⏲️. I don't even 🤔 know the proper oil and grease for watches. I also find it a good idea 💡 to change the gaskets each time ⏲️ the watch ⌚️ is disassembled. Your friend, Jeff.

Wonderful looking watch great job

You had mentioned the Omega Trésor? If that's the one it's pronounced kinda likeTRAY-ZOR. (means treasure) THIS watch is a treasure!

Really a very nice watch.

Stunning watch! Enjoy in good health :)

A wonderful video...thank you!

Awesome video. 👍👍👍

Pure beauty

Another amazing job. By the way, it’s a crown wheel lol.

Great job. Watch looks amazing. The gold finished beautifully. The amplitude, beat error and accuracy were amazingly good for a watch that old.

very nice job

Awesome! I’ve done a few Omegas and they are very nice on the inside! Both seamasters 1965 and 68. Very good job!

Excellent job

Its beautiful, always enjoy your videos, happy new year Adan❤😂 Best wishes. Mike.

Luce realmente hermoso, su trabajo es de un profesional, felicidades y gracias

Thanks

Thank you for a great video on a great watch: 👍👌👏! There is just on thing that gives me the heebie-jeebies whenever I see you work: the way you tighten the screws 🤪is just not what these watches were made for. And since they will probably survive both of us, you might give some consideration to the next watch restorer ...

Pallet Fork or Mini Klingon Bird of Prey!

Wow! What a beautiful watch. I love your videos and they give me the confidence to try this for myself I’m gathering tools to start on my first watch, which will be a Bulova tank from 1947.

Wonder why they did the number delete on the seconds? Anyways love your channel, killer work sir!!!! Very nice watch

Terrific video. Great handwork-well done. At some point in future video can you explain the screw refinishing? Thanks.

Hello Adam ...I bought a Ebay Special .. A Regina 15 jewel pocket watch. 5269339. I need a stem and had no luck finding one. Also someone has been into it. There is a case screw missing and I cannot remove transmission wheel screw out. Any ideas as to do !! Thanks. I'm a Greenhorn and new to watchmaking. I maybe in over my head !!!

Great video. How long did it take you to complete the watch?

It's a gorgeous little watch, and if Muhammad Ali can wear a Cartier tank, I don't think it's too small on you.

Lovely little omega it’s definitely missing a small fine printed cross hatch on the dial. For the sub second I expect it got wash off by a previous watchmaker, nice makeover though it came out stunning. 😉🙏

P:eter I have no problem in taking off your hands any watch of yours for repair!!

Great work. You kept my attention for the whole hour, which is really saying something! I was just looking at a solid 18k Seamaster at a local antique shop thinking how far out of my budget it is. Unrelated question: what is the name of the tape you use to protect the lugs at the end?

more is better always lol

What's the best way to date an Omega Genevieve wrist watch. I found one in the 70s and have not opened the back I'm afraid to.

Good video, ty & subbed. so who is the facebook dude that wrote the book on Omega?

3Rd wheel looks bent?

Let us know if you set up a PO Box because I may have a couple of old watches that I would like to donate to the channel.

When it comes to "named" Omega models, it's not exactly accurate that the first such Omega was the Seamaster. You can see Omega advertising from the 1930s with names like Euroos or Filenios. But they did not appear on watches themselves. Collection/model names first appeared on any Omega in the early 1940s, and to be precise - on the case back of the Omega Suveran. As for the watch in the video, I have a strong suspicion that this dial isn't original to the watch. It is a genuine Omega dial, but I think it was intended for a sweep-second movement of the 30T2 family. The hole for the seconds hand pinion looks a bit crude, there is no subdial or even a printed scale for the seconds hand. Additionally, the hour and minute hands seem to sit a bit too high above the dial. Omega's SSIH sibling - Tissot - used pinions of different lengths on their cal.27, depending on what dial was to be installed on it. I saw the exact same thing with vintage Longines with the cal.12.68, which goes to show that the practice was common not only with the SSIH brands. So, my guess is that the same thing is the case here, and the reason for why these hands sit so high is that this dial and movement did not roll out of the Omega factory in the same watch.

I have an omega for the bench automatic not working

do u have any gold vintage watches for sale
