I break vintage Omega down to parts — and tell you exactly what’s inside.

I’m not a watchmaker. I spent forty-five years as a mechanic, and my fun was always taking things apart, not putting them back together. So I do the other half of the trade.

Movements come across my bench, go under a trinocular microscope, and come apart. I identify every component, grade the wear, and photograph it at 40x. If you’re about to buy a vintage Omega and you’re not sure what you’re looking at, send it to me first.
