Rclough Posted March 4, 2012 Report 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
Rclough Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 Any ideas where I can get a shiny new bezel to complete this build?
offshore Posted March 6, 2012 Report 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
lhooq Posted March 6, 2012 Report 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.
Rclough Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report 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
the_rymeister Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Looks great buddy I really love these older models
Rclough Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks Rymeister; Will hopefully post some photo's with new bezel soon - Cheers guys - rclough
