Just an update. I traded my Omega Seamaster for a new, less expensive watch.
I was frustrated by the very expensive Omega factory quote I received (mentioned in earlier threads). So it went to a well respected shop here in Dallas who restored it to new performance.
Unfortunately after two tries they could not duplicate the original finish on the Titanium.
Even worse, I was the only one who noticed the defect, a series of micro "flat" grind spots where the original was an unbroken, flawless blended abrasion that gave the Titanium it's elegant look.
Frustrated, I traded the Seamaster for a (German made) Damasko which keeps excellent time. It's rugged, attractive and very comfortable on the wrist.

If I ever decide to go crazy on a watch again I would buy a Rolex Explorer. They cost too much given my income in this current economy so I'll likely die with the Damasko.
