azgjav Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 just want to share some photos of 2 frankens and a gen transitional speedmaster from 1969. frankens were made using genuine tissot movements that are the same as the omega 873. case, dial and hands are genuine NOS parts. ~enjoy.

cougar1 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Amazing stuff, the all look spectacular and I've seen both the transitional and the panda before, the panda is beautiful, but the silver dial is really something else, looks stunning, never laid eyes on one until now. Can't believe those silver dials are available on Ofrei. Great work azjgav! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Beautiful! Where'd you source the cases, Otto Frei, Cousins, WatchCo...somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgjav Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 cheers! they cost a fair bit to build but i had more pleasure putting them together than buying one from omega. the silver dialed speedmaster was made using nos case and dial from watchco. the panda used a nos but used case i bought from thebay, dial was from a member here in the rep community. can't remember the actual model of the tissot but i think it's prs512 or something. bought them at about 300. the silver speedie cost about 1300, the panda was less than 1k. i think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Really interested in doing one of these sometime, parts permitting! The prices are excellent for the result achieved. Great work! Was it the Tissot Seastar T12 Chrono you used for the cal.873? PM me if you have a good source? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbutlerman Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 It looks like a Tissot with Lemania 1281 would work. According to what I found, the 1281is the missing link in the evolution between the Omega 321 and 1861... Not positive on this, but that's what I can figure...

Poisoncigar Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have a gen dial and hands now to source the rest. LOL Beautiful work BTW.I imagine getting the right case is key to the dial fitting. Then the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azgjav Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 sorry for the late reply, have been tied down w work. can't really remember the cal # of the tissot movement but it looks exactly the same as the omega 871/873. tissot used 2 other movements as well, one is the 1281 and the other is the same movement as the omega 321. any case which fits the 321/871/873 movement will accept the tissot movement. i actually prefer the panda over the silver dial, funny enough.

cougar1 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The panda is cool aswell thanks for the info on the movments, now the main trouble will be finding a case for a good price and in good shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
