triplehd Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just posted in the Friday Wristies....but wanted to post in the Omega section as well. My Franken Electric Blue consisting of: - Gen Dial (used, but in excellent condition) - Gen Hands - Double A/R Crystal (from the 42mm PO v5) Sold my previous version to Namor, but was able to build another one. Still need some work (repaint the bezel number and source the speedy bracelet as this one currently has the PO bracelet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks great, these are fairly rare now so you should hold onto this one it goes well on the PO bracelet btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks great! Which case are you using for the build? Is that the v5 PO 42mm case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks great! Which case are you using for the build? Is that the v5 PO 42mm case? Not a PO case - but just the bracelet. The case is a closed factory SMP. But that gives me a good idea...wondering what a SMP 2254 would look like in a PO v4/v5 case. Hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Electric Blue is one of my favorite Omegas. A real beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Sorry but can anyone explain what a closed facrory case is fir the SMP? I bought one today without knowing what I am getting! The closed cased references the Omega reps from the past where the case was very similar to the gen. The HE valve was in the correct spot and the crown guards were very good. The Bond 007 not only had these characteristics, but the pearl was spot on as well. We say closed because the factory that produced them got shut down (hence "closed" in the description) years back. Its a shame that these models never resurfaced with the newer factories, especially those that make the POs. BTW - you got pics of the one that you bought? Electric Blue is one of my favorite Omegas. A real beauty. They are, especially with the gen dial....which i had two and sold . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing special, not worth much, and really of no use whatsoever, please sell it to me for a really cheap price, I'll be doing you a favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 How about this one? A closed factory case with a gen 2230 (non -AC dial) and a PO bezel and insert. Built by @SSTEEL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stomper Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
