The crown and pushers are next!

Thanks Freddy,
I will do just that. I really could not see the rust spots until I took a macro.

Worked on the dial a little today. toned down the markers and crown with a product called liquid rust. I also discolored
the sub dials at the hand hole. I may tone it down a bit as it did not look as noticable until I took a macro shot. I am missing
a few markers but it does not bother me too much as it is vintage but let me know if anyone might have a few spare. More to come.

It was very tragic. I am truly thankful for what I have.

Many people are using older Air Kings for donor watches and it seems cases and dials can be found pretty cheap.
-
I will get a few pics of DW dial tonight. I am also looking to source a gen Airking dial for the crown.
-
Yup, going with Ofrei pushers, gen crown and tropic 21 next.

Thanks, I have a V72 DW case and a PN dial. A tropic 21 on the way and will be looking for a crown and pushers next.

That watch is so nice! I think it deserves a custom Gunny.
-
Thanks mate!

Just got this in today. I will add the rest as I collect them. I thought I would be happy for awhile
after the speedmaster build. God I hate this hobby. Let me know what you think.

Welcome!

Good gen bracelets pop up all the time on VRF. Cases, Many options out there. Check out Yuki watch, NDT
and Jewelry and Watch.

What are you leaning towards? You may have a easier time collecting Omega parts verses Rolex but it depends on your taste.
-
If it is a non quick set it would be a 1570. Congrats and bring on the pics!
-
I don't think the dealer is gonna like that!
-
I received my parts today.Without David's help I do not think this would have happened!
Hope you have the same outcome E!

Like you I have been waiting for about three months for parts............Wait, so where is the 'tona?
Love the Speedie man!

After contacting DW I received a email from Steve wanting to square things up. We will see but Dw went above and beyond to help.
