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
