Speedmaster service in pictures

Post by mfxr » Fri May 27, 2011 4:41 am

I recently came across this pictorial thread of a Speedmaster service. I found it pretty interesting, so thought I would link it for all the Omega Whooers here.
Hats off to those that actually know what they are doing in there :shock:
I find resizing a bracelet enough of a challenge :cussing:

they are dealing with 1/100ht of a mm - tha's pretty intense especially if you had a big cup of coffee.

pretty cool find, thanks for the link, I've saved it for reference.

:shock: Sometimes lug screws are difficult enough to remove after I have a few cups of coffee.

The vintage style Omega 1171 Bracelet is a cake walk to adjust the hell with the new Omega bracelet that's a pain in the ass.
