Says the man who buys his Omegas with fitba DVD's included! Which gets me thinking - do you think you could make a wee spring out of leftover guitar string...

Ach, whisht! If you go to the Ofrei website you'll see what I mean, it talks about the click-springs they have being for specific models, none of which are the PO. It seems to be quite a tricky part to source, and the case is buggered without it. Rather this is a story of redemption, of breathing life into what previously, up until now, did not click....

Now that would be absolutely fantastic!! PM on it's way! Cheers!

Bump. Incidentally - I can see that Ofrei sell Omega click-springs, I'm just not clear if they're the right ones for the PO. The bit I'm looking for is the bit that makes the bezel click when you turn it. Has anyone had any joy sourcing these?

Does a Greek PayPal account not let you add funds from a Greek bank account?

Welcome!

:lol: Great spot!

You'll get a dozen different answers depending on whom you ask - some folk prefer 'pro' tools, others are happy with whatever gets the job done. Horses for courses... If you're going to be removing hands and dials, it's probably worth getting something half decent I would imagine. For case backs, rolled up duct tape or "sticky balls" come recommended. Might be worth a search here for sticky balls. "Cape Cod" is recommended too - do a search for that term because I've seen it discussed at length. And since you're in the US, it might be worth checking out Birdman's Tools section on the forum. Narikaa also sells some tools (inc shipping) from the UK. If you're looking at the high end tools, there are some links to online suppliers in the links section under watch tools. Best of luck!!

Thanks for this - very handy! I wouldn't have used super glue because of the fumes, but I take it it's okay if it has dried before it goes back in. My dilemma exactly - this is not the watch I would pick to demonstrate my total lack of manual dexterity on. It's times like this I wish I was in the UK or Canada! Marrickvilleboy.....why did you leave us! I might see how I go though - perhaps I'll get the spare time I need when the forum is down

Does anyone know where you can get the bezel click-springs for the 45mm PO? (Don't know if they're different between the generations) There are a couple of threads on the forum looking for click-springs, but in both cases they turned up under the sofa / in the vacuum cleaner bag I have looked on Ofrei but couldn't see anything like this. I haven't lost the part, I never had it to lose. Any pointers appreciated!

You may find it already is fairly water resistant - get a pressure test done on it at any watch repair shop and that will tell you before you risk swimming with it.

This has come up in a couple of recent threads on the forum - I don't think the tube has come out if it's an 'ultimate' PO. Check out r11co's post here.

If you've already mislaid your testicles once, wouldn't you appreciate the peace of mind of knowing that they were definitely attached the second time around?

It's being heavily promoted in this AD's (at least, in the ones near me) - so it's obviously a desirable watch to some extent. Ach, enjoy it!

The moral of the story is......if a woman says "does my ass look big in this?"..... ....run before you say yes!

Obviously let me know if you're still stuck, but it's not the "ultimate" one

Ziggy's as good as we've got

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well, you may be wondering - what is 2007 like? I can now reveal that 2007 Australia is like the space age - you'll like it a lot. It's a lot like The Jetsons. 1. Food is now heated in 'microwaves'. The food is taken out on a quick surfing session which helps it build up a sweat. 2. Clocks are now small enough to fit inside telephones, which are now small enough to fit inside pockets. 3. Swimsuits in 1917 first passed the knee line, in 1957 they went above the thigh line. In 2007 they have now passed the bikini line. 4. Thanks to global warming it's now both warmer and windier, except at night. 5. The windier conditions mean you can see further. On a clear night you can now see as far as the moon. Not too much new information on new reps, my first inkling is that 2007's new reps will have issues that need to be discussed at length And on that daft note, I'll wish you all a great 2007. Cheers!

It's a touch cruel - but credit for the way he delivered it Bullseye style "Here's what you would have won" "Special mouth love".....!!

In fact, Clive just replied to this post on his "Babbage Difference Engine"

Okay, bye!

Thanks! Did you use tweezers when you stuck the lume back? And covering the dial is to stop dust and so on, I take it.

No sooner is my orange 42.5mm PO back in commission when an odd thing has happened... The lume on one of the markers has fallen off. Any thoughts on how to fix it? For example, whether to stick the bit that fell off back on - does that sound plausible and 'do-at-homeable'?

Just a little postscript. Verbal was kind enough to post the replacement links all the way to Oz. Unfortunately the envelope had been mauled, I suspect by a sorting machine. There was a very peculiar hole ripped in the back of the envelope and the links were gone That said, I am very grateful for him sending them - and he obviously deserves the community credit for offering to do so. As I've said to him in PM - I am going to try to resize the watch without the half links at the 'wrong' size. My hand will probably go purple when I put the watch on....but at least it will bring more attention to the great watch! Cheers!
