Found this sad artefact on the bay. Once again the setting spring had broken. It now runs, but damned if I can get a decent amplitude - 180 degrees is the best I can squeeze out of it.

After, with offending setting lever spring:

In other news, I finally got a water-damaged rescue puppy of an omega 751 running very sweetly. I just need to find a dial...maybe...

Just looking back through my older posts. I finally finished my water-damaged Omega last week. New dial, new hands, new barrel, new barrel bridge, new barrel arbor, and loads of keyless work bits. It runs incredibly well despite the hard life it's had, and it has become my favourite watch.
