seadweller16600 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello Members and Friends, Is there anybody how knows that a Omega Dial from the Gen,Ploprof 600 fit into a Helson Sharkmaster. I want that dial because of the deep blue Colour .I will not make a Fake Watch to sell,only for me. regards Ulrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 It fits, but not perfectly (it can require some work getting dw properly aligned). Know that at least 4 members (one of them me) who have done Plop 600's based on the Helson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadweller16600 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Now I order a dial from omega Pforzheim over a omega store in Koblenz, will cost 180 €, so now I only need help with fitting the dw, or what I have to do, also I ordered a new silver dw from Helson....

ogladio Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That looks really good! Could you describe how it was assembled (if dial was laser welded to the inner ring or not etc)? I'm asking as I've (or Pbdad to be honest) had some issues getting it all together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you describe how it was assembled (if dial was laser welded to the inner ring or not etc)? I'm asking as I've (or Pbdad to be honest) had some issues getting it all together... It was very easy,if you have the right Parts. I used a MK III dial. first you have to cut the Dial Feet. after,filed down the rest from the Dial feet carefuly!!! We do not laser the Dial to the Ring,we glow it with the same small papers,as used in some Watches to fix a Dial ring. That are very small papers,wich glue on both sides. i dont know the item called in english,sorry. On the Back Side of the 2824-2 is enough space to put 3 or 4 of them on it. After all pull the watch together,we test it for WD to 150 meters. The watch is save and ready to diving. I will wait for the silver Date Wheel from Helson,because i want to open the watch again to Change the black wheel. but it must be the helson Disc,because of printing.The gen.will not fit,a ETA Disk will fit,but the date stand between two letters. If you turned the Dial to "6" the date will fit correct,but the red Pusher will then be on the left side down. I hope,you understand,what i mean. regards an much fun with your new Project!!!

ogladio Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks for a great answer! Think the term is just "dial dots" - or "those tape stripes that you cut to correct size" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After finding a gen nos Omega Ploprof dial, gen pusher, and gen mesh bracelet this is what came out…one crip franken!

RickFlorida Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I just purchased a black dialed Helson 600 Sharkmaster and will get it tomorrow. I was thinking I might want to start collecting spare parts and understanding it's construction as I plan on keeping it and maybe upgrading it later. I think this relates to this thread as what fits the Helson 600 Sharkmaster like the genuine dials. 1. How is the push button the same or different from original Omega? I see on this thread people installed genuines but do you really just unscrew the Helson button and install a genuine Omega Proplof button and that's it? 2.What is the sapphire crystal from or what size is it? Is it the same as genuine or is it different? How would I find/get another crystal as a back up? 3. How is the bezel removed? I assume it can be lifted off by those professional 5 corner sharp bezel removers? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
