Hi from South Africa

Hey all

My name's Mike and I'm from Pretoria, South Africa. I'm still a novice in the watch world with two automatic pieces, both gen. Hopefully looking to learn about more than just reps with the fine folks here and have a nice long stay!

Well here's the one which I was lucky enough to inherit. Needs some work done on it - however watch makers are few and far between here. Got a quote of $380 and $350 for a service, new crown and crystal..

Nice Omega.

Hey Craig. Nice to see locals around here. I assume that means you've had pretty good luck! You don't happen to know of any reputable watchmakers or someone that can do services in Gauteng? Been to two places up here in Pta and not a chance am I paying almost R4k to service a watch that's barely worth more than that!

Thanks very much JMS, it's a 1974 model and means a lot to me
