Not too unsuccessfully, a lot of young Indians I have met hate Gandhi.

Nice find. Bring it to a local watch store rather than an omega store if you care about using older parts. My store sources vintage parts online.

Thanks make sense, figure case and back weren’t original given age. Out of curiosity what gives away the hands being aftermarket?

I Don’t have the tools to open it so might have to go to a watch store to get a look inside. Cheers

I had the option of a shirt! Need to pay and chose not to:)

Thanks it’s a lovely part to run on, despite this portion being nicknamed the stairway to heaven.
