A certain irony to that I afraid. It seems we have a no win situation.

Well said Mike. And pay for tracked postage too, never leave your new rep to chance with and untraceable postal service.

A rep Omega rubber strap. Which was an absolute barsteward to fit. I’m not normally into rubber 😜 but thought it would work well with the black ceramic bezel.

If you want to pm me any details you have on him - email etc, we’ll keep an eye out for him. Nasty, nasty scammers.

It started out as a standard Seamaster chrono. Soon after I bought it it (I!) striped the crown/tube. I sent it to @SSTEEL in Finland who repainted the chrono hands to red including the chrono second hand and removed the paint from the clock hands to make them ‘stainless’. A black date wheel was fitted and a 2xAR crystal. If I remember correctly he also serviced or replaced the movement. I then fitted a ceramic bezel insert sourced from ebay. A fine gentleman from next door supplied the rubber strap 😬

Have you tried to claim it back via your bank or credit card?

We know Mike is a good guy, but it’s nice to hear the positive feedback.

Old work beater.

Locking this thread. @BenC you’ve had your say now it stops here. As it stands @SSTEEL has done good work on the forum here. If people want to carry on with the witch hunt it will not happen here. By all means go next door and continue.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Hoping all goes well with your treatment and that you’re back to fully fit in no time.

Grrrrrr......

Or maybe....

Possible, yes, likely, less so. The style looks late 60’s so @Champagnesky is probably correct.

Now that is looking good. I think you got the details including the lume just right. Congratulations on a lovely vintage watch.

Ah, chainsaws and flamethrowers, those were the days.

I’m UK based and could give it a go. I expect it to be a 30 second job to remove the marker. This is my tool kit. All risks on you though. Alternatively, contact @SSTEEL as @Legend has already said. I use him myself after my attempts at fixing.

Steve’s crystals are fantastic and a great upgrade. I’ve a few of them myself.

What’s the item number?
