grifter Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I just got this from Sead this morning. I'm very impressed with it! Sead was great and delivery was super fast. I am no Omega expert, so please tell me what you see that needs changing. Let me know the order of urgency also. I bought this as a long term side project to do while I wait for other projects to bloom. Thanks!
Jkay Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 The crown and tube are an inexpensive and necessary fix. At your leisure, you may replace the clasp, dial, crystal and the hands.
cougar1 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Yep as an out of the box rep, it look pretty damn good, only question now is how much do you want to spend to make it perfect The pearl is very decent considering some, so you could put off the bezel, as said crown and tube are almost a necessity on these. Either relume or gen dial needed as rep vs gen lume is night and day difference. An improvement to the AR rather than shelling out for a crystal and this would look shiite hot. So all in all, exactly as Jkay said
fischyyy Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah most has been said, Crown/Tube and Lume are the ones I would start with, everything else really is a bonus and not really necessary.
Jkay Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Instead of paying for a high quality lume job, pay for gen hands and dial. Seriously.You can pay for a bargain lume job but .... You will regret it.
WetWork Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Jkay, where would one get those parts? Do you have any links or anything?
Jkay Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Omega does not strictly restrict their parts like Rolex does. If you contact watch parts webstores like Otto Frei, or Jules Borel or CousinsUK, they will have what you want. There are complete parts numbers lists here on this forum in archived discussions.
WetWork Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks. I'll check that out. What about something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/310362864382 Is that the price range one should pay?
Jkay Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Look at this thread and you'll get info like this chart and more.
superlative Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 That's the parts list for the 45mm UPO. The OP has the 42mm UPO. Look at this thread http://www.rwg.cc/to...rom-cousins-uk/ and you'll get info like this chart and more.
Jkay Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 That's the parts list for the 45mm UPO. The OP has the 42mm UPO. That is why I directed the OP to the thread and posted the pic as a bonus. Note the link in my post.
