Yeah my Bond came from a great guy who sadly doesn’t spend much time here.

I think I can help a bit. I'm fairly certain that I bought this watch from the person that dutchguy2 sold it to, in its eventual closed factory case version.

 

Here is what it looked like when I had it: 

 

The 40th anniversary dial had been swapped to a old tritium gen dial, and I installed a gen insert with pearl. 

 

 

 

 

The 40th anniversary dial and gen bracelet, ended up getting re-united with a genuine 2831.80 that I restored from the dead, and is one of my favorite watches I wear to this day. 

 

 

 

 

 

How is that for 18 years of closure!

 

 

 

see above

LOVELY, loss of words, that I beauty! aha! I saw that 40th anniversary edit gen dial from the bay a couple of months back for a steal price, I think you won that? 

wear it in good health man!, how is the caseback by the way? does it have serial numbers on the lugs?

@NaviChief that’s lovely. I have a closed factory case from the 40th anniversary Bond that has been built into a ProPlan - hybrid Seamaster Pro case with PO bezel and second hand. Fantastic quality cases that are so close to Gen. I also have franken 2531.80 that I want to mid further. The HEV position isn’t too bad but it still bugs me so I may have the HEV removed and the hole welded up and the re-drilled in the correct position.  
What caseback do you have on your 40th?

Here’s the Bond. 

another amazing build wear it in good health, cheers mate!

“Addiction”? If it’s that serious you need a clean break brother. Best way is to be done with those foul watches! Done with them! Make your move! Quick while you’re motivated, jump up! Do it now! Grab them all, yes ALL, and throw them in a box! Do it! Be strong! Tape that box up! Lock the beasts inside!!! Take charge!

Now mail it to me.

Post a couple of photos please. I’ve always been a sucker for frankens of Seamasters. 

How about this one? A closed factory case with a gen 2230 (non -AC dial) and a PO bezel and insert. Built by [mention=50989]SSTEEL[/mention]

Everything is gen except midcase and case back
 
No way to do this today, would probably cost more than the gen as Omega has restricted access to parts to those they deem worthy and second hand prices are way up
 

you need an updated 15202ST get it now quick! or that new Vacheron Constantin

we need to see the relics of the past by reposting images of these rarest SMP frankens out there!

Damn this is a very hard question to answer as I am about to buy this super rep next week from mary@watchinternational..

I have looked over on ofrei's and damn $590 for the bracelet, $960 for the complete case (Bezel, insert, crowns, crystal, gasket, caeback all) so to sum up it will be around $1800, will definitely burn my wallet.. I will really want to have these mods myself too but to me maybe just these parts an I'll be happy;

1. Bezel insert

2. Dial

3. Hands

4. proper decorated 25 jewel ETA Valjoux 7750

Otherwise, I would buy the black one, but the itch is really for the blue bond

but the blue of the insert I simply could not stomach..

Good luck mate!

Please post more pics of your watch so we could see that beatiful timepiece!

done this project as well

OP I am necroposting I know but can you please re share the images of your watch? thanks!

Thanks Kernow

I'm intrigued to see what arrives as this is an old rep, one of the original Eddie Lee supplied ones. I'm hoping the case is as per Gen construction so it'll be a case of replacing gaskets if I'm lucky. If not then the Marine apoxy will be out in force!

 I'll post a few pics for the process.

Cheers M

did you receive the case how does it look like?

"...on the same boat looking for Omega Parts on the bay..."

 

I know what you mean.  I have used up almost all of my omega 5xx and 7xx parts with no more in sight...at a reasonable price that is.  The quick set models where you push/pull the crown to advance the date have a problem with broken setting parts and spare parts have just about dried up. 

Have one old ruffy dress type ygf front loader 'watermaster' and was going to change it over to a no date model because of missing parts but can not find an affordable case, been looking for a year or two.  Found a dial right away but no cases out there.

 

No Mo Oh-Meega Parts. 

@automatico the nerve of these sellers to sell literally golden rust is baffling, also the almost unusable omega parts in the listings as of this date damn life is hard indeed

what about them classic fords chevys 64 impala caddy coupe de villes

this made m chuckle, on the same boat looking for Omega Parts on the bay and same story ROFL

This dude should be IP level banned forever in all major gen watch forum sites and here at the 4 rep watch sites too, we don't want his scammy [censored] over here.

Whoah this looks like a sad turnout... Was planning to get the new 42mm Titanium heck not even sure if the case and bracelet is titanium

nice watch but I gotta say;

2531.80 for life baby yeah!

another one of those reverse shilling new member posters

that is one Clebar I mean clever project you got right there, wear it in good health!

nope there has been no rep of this, probably cause its not feasible?

quickest way to spot the rep DSOTM is the color of the balance wheel, on the rep its gold, on the gen its black, but be careful, this may be a bait and switch tactic, surest way to determine an Omega is that the lug serials should match the Omega cards which came with it.

Couldn't say more

hey hey hey nice share mate! thanks!

reported

invalid thread!

It seems that it has been removed!

I watched to part way through second half turned it off and went to bed. Boring game.

Haha same, went to sleep on 2nd half.. I hated those missed shots by Messi, they could have scored 2
