Tonight's small g2g with some friends. Quite an interesting line-up of watches, some new and some old. Some surprise turn-outs!

QUOTE(kvwong2014 @ Jul 31 2018, 09:52 AM) Can anyone identify these 2 vintage Omega pocket watches? Are they repairable/restore-able? Are they worth restoring? If not, I'm just going to clean them up with WD-40 or acetone and put them in a display case. the movement number is engraved there under the balance wheel... so probably some 38.5L?as for restoration... best u send an email to omega.

I've googled the movement number and indeed its a 38.5L. Not sure about restoring it though, Omega SC would charge a fortune for such a restoration and I don't think these pocket watches are really worth spending a couple of grand on.as for restoration... best u send an email to omega. |

Any movement that has rusted is as good as gone because even after you have restored it, the rust will come back again just as a matter of time. So at best leave it. |

Guys, is this the best time to buy? The above article indicates that timepieces will not be exempted I'm aiming for an Oris Aquis 2018. Watch Shoppe quoted me RM 5.8k for the steel bracelet variant. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 2 2018, 11:20 AM) Because the previous SST exempted timepieces. Now timepieces are not exempted (not on the list released by Customs Department).
