Rclough Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Dear friends, some time ago I posted the following thread for a project that I started on a 1970's Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 - 60m/ 200ft. http://www.rwg.cc/to...__fromsearch__1 The good news is my watchmaker has done a absolutely n fantastic job of bringing the piece back to life again (see pic); its had a full service; along with a new crystal & I'm sure you'll all agree its a big improvement on how it was. Unfortunately, the one thing that my wm couldn't lay his hands on was a new bezel. Whilst I accept that the gnarly old bezel adds some character to the piece, IMO it would be nice to have the choice of alternating between an old one and a new one. So, with this in mind, does anyone know where I can source a better condition bezel? Please PM me. In the meantime stay well. rclough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rclough Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Any ideas where I can get a shiny new bezel to complete this build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Watchco in Oz - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-Omega-GENUINE-1970s-VINTAGE-Seamaster-200-Steel-Mens-Bezel-R-1660091-NOS-/380417147691?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item5892a1032b#ht_873wt_1163 currently have a whole bunch of bezels listed. not cheap, but you will probably find what you want If they don't have them listed on ebay, they have a www site as well. If that doesn't work, shoot me a PM as I have another couple of contacts. O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 As offshore said, Watchco. I've dealt with them a couple of times, and have no complaints--other than the price! But I didn't know where else I could find a No-Date Seamaster 300 dial, so to Australia I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rclough Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Offshore and LHOOQ, many thanks for the link to Watchco; like you say, a bit pricey ($299) but if that's what it takes, I guess I'll just have to get saving. Once again thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Cheers rclough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
