And wrong movement. Gen is 8400, rep 8500.

Just to chime in. I've had a restauration done 2 years ago of my dad's old watch. It was similair to this one (a gold plated Bulova, about the same age I guess). Costs weren't that high. I got a new gold plating, 10 micron, which was only around €80, say $110. Omega itself uses a much thicker layer of gold if I'm correct, 30 or 40 microns. Also my usual watchmaker serviced the movement and I got new generic hands, a new generic crown and a new generic crystal. Total cocts was around € 200. Any watchmaker could do it. But, for me, it was important to restore the watch and be able to wear it. I didn't really care searching for original parts. Put a nice croc strap on it and it's like new! Be sure to bring tisseus when your mom sees it

Supermirrors is UK based. He is also a trusted dealer here.

The old Heuer logo implies that this is one of the special edition Carrera's in honour of Jack Heuers 80th birthday. But it's nowhere near the real thing. Read further about these watches at calibre11.com.

I think I read this thread more then 10 times already in the past years. It keeps inspiring me!

Just wondering if anyone heard of J lately. He hastnt checked in on any of the fora for about 6 months now...

Really? You did this with that old case?? Nice work bro!

nice! So thats my old bracelet?

It complements the PO really well, better than leather straps imho!!

A plastic strap would be better in your opinion than leather

TripleHD did one too I think.

I know what you mean, I got twin boys myself

And I have a v2 kevlar 3717 strap. Pm me and we work it out. It has one extra hole though.

How about Wizz in France? But, these models are available for under $ 200 now with a A2824. Are you sure you want to put the money in it for repairs?

Wow looks great buddy! So what was the mod needed on the bracelet?

And how about a wristie!

Taikonaut. If the have it in stock.

Rep case, but not rep crystal right? Taka?

Taka has blue teint. I have one of his in my 3717. Its great and durable too.

Wow, thanks cougar1. I actually got my dial from him on Ebay. I am going to message him about that stainless bezel. I would actually prefer that to the blue or black. Will Mary's SMP fit a gen bezel?

you mean you found a genuine black bond dial?? I've been after that for years!

Domi's contact = finedd AKA sweetwatches

Some friendly advice. You live in France, so make sure you choose a dealer that will get your watch safely into the EU. And ask if it's possible to get quality check pictures (qc's) before it's shipped. Then you should be ok. I've had several succefull deals with Toro and Sead, in EU.

It's a small world. Dutchy buys my rollie, I bought another from JMB today. And Andy sold me an SMP brace last year I'm wearing almost daily. I love it!

Hope this one will become the franken you want it to be.

This combo keeps coming back here. I think Concepta was the first one, few years back... look great!
