Starting where I ended yesterday with Omega PO

Finally... A thresome!
I did It!!

Got my 50's bumper back from service =)
So I have had this Omega 52' Seamaster Bumper Caliber ever since i was a young lad (My grandfathers). To my knowledge it was not serviced for at least 30 years?? maybe ever if that's possible? It still worked (somewhat) but would stop periodically, lose massive amounts of time daily and did not make a nice sound when winding. Anyway I felt for the little guy and decided to throw him a life raft and give him a chance for many more years. Just got it back, most likely spent more on the service/restoration than the watch is worth but what the heck. Sometimes its nice to see an old friend rather than a new one. Tell me what you think, first is the before shot. beforephoto (3).jpgAfter:photo (1).jpgphoto (2).jpgphoto (4).jpg

Visit to Japan - Nakano Broadway
I've just come home from a week long holiday to Japan; it was my first time there. Spent most of my days in Tokyo, with a 2d1n trip to Hakone-Gotemba. Naturally, I've read a lot about Jack Road and watch hunting in Tokyo (a lot of it from here on TRF), so I planned a full day of just browsing for watches. I found out much later, that Jack Road is actually within a sort of mall or shopping complex. About 3 storeys high and inside, a whole chunk of shops that sells preowned bags, watches, jewelry... basically luxury goods. There are also magazine, comic and toy stores; it can get a little confusing. Since I read that Jack Road was on the third floor, that's where I started. I think two of the major stores on the third floor are Jack Road and Kame-Kichi. There's also a Betty Road which caters to watches for women. Once you take the escalator that goes directly from ground floor (1F) to third floor (3F), turn right and you'll see Jack Road. Kame-Kichi is somewhere along the left of the esc
