This Broken Omega Seamaster Has Big Potential! Full Restoration

Описание: This time on the bench we have an early 1950s Omega Seamaster Ref. C2577-1. Not only an iconic watch, but one of the models that helped define the very beginning of sports watches. As expected, it’s not running and it didn’t make things easy. Broken parts, hidden issues, and a few mistakes along the way made this one a real challenge.

If you love vintage watches and enjoy in-depth restorations, this one is for you. Grab a coffee and join me as I try to get this beautiful Omega ticking again.
