Omega Memomatic Back From Service
I just Picked up my vintage Omega Memomatic from my watchmaker after a movement service, case refinish (by ABC Watchwerks of course), and new factory Crystal and alarm crown replacement.The dial and hands are all original and I must say it looks absolutely showcase new again...a very rare and under appreciated vintage Omega reference with an alarm feature that uses the same power source as the movement and can be set to the minute...both very innovative for their time when introduced in 1969.Here is a wrist shot...

Thanks friends!
Due to my wife's breast cancer and medical bills, I had to sell my Rolex Seadweller and Milgauss GV for some of the bills... I have had the chance to acquire 3 incredible Omega's... Which until the Seadweller and Milly find their way back, will enjoy these... Thanks TRF!
