Mr. Genesis 0 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, This weekend I got the greatest deal of my life and got the chance to buy a beautiful gen Omega at a really good price! I'm super happy about it and still can't believe that it's mine! :) Now, I would like to change the crystal because it has a few scratches, but it got me thinking. Would it be okay if I just go to a local watchmaker to put a new crystal or I should not consider putting a crystal that's not from Omega? Thank you very much for your help/opinion and have a great day :) Edited June 14, 2017 by Mr. Genesis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wriggles 12 Posted June 14, 2017 This would be a few decades old I presume? It's vintage, let it show it's age. If you really wanted to do something maybe a bit of poly might improve matters. I wouldn't personally change it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't personally change it Yes, it's from the 60's! I found out this morning that there's a little omega logo in the center of the glass and it changed my mind. I think I'll just polish the crystal a little bit to remove the tiny scratches but leave the big ones to show some history. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Genesis 0 Posted July 11, 2017 I ended up getting a new crystal directly from Omega. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
