 So I finally found a watchmaker who confirmed he can and will bring it back to life, Craig at Illinois Watch Company. He just called me today and i expected he'd say sorry can't do or it'll cost you one million dollars type thing whichone.gif He gave me what i thought was a reasonnable estimate and was very cool... He'll be taking the whole thing apart and doing a full overhaul, taking care of the corrosion, changing a few parts(gears, lever, mainspring) and will even install a new crystal on. Now the wait begins and knowing I'm going to finally get to wear my Gd Pa's Omega is gonna make the wait real tough but excitinghappy guy.gif ETA is early November and I cannot wait snoopy1.gif
