Martyd3 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It makes a world of difference. This one also has Omega Flightmaster hands, an Ingod44 dial, gen crown & tube and Clark tropic plexi. A new bezel and some more case shaping is up next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 That looks fantastic. Did it come with the bracelet? Where do you get the Flight Master hands? Which Clark is that one? Where will you get the new bezel? I waffle back and forth on this one. Sometimes I really like it and other times I think the dial is too busy. Nice work with this.

Martyd3 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I bought it with the hands installed, but Ofrei should have them. I will have to check on the crystal. I have a Phong bezel that a bit nicer. The bracelet is from Yuki. It's really not correct for the watch. Edited August 6, 2014 by Martyd3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacher62 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Pretty! Is it the ETA option that uses the Flightmaster hands? They really look good.I did some case reshaping on this one and added a Mk 2(?) dial from Ingod44. It came out pretty well, but I want to get another and do it again. I think I can get it right the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nice. I like the flat top 4 on the new bezel you installed, and also on Preacher's. I know there are many different and slight variations of the bezel font/print for this watch - is the stock one from the Cartel considered to be OK based on any of the gen variations? Does the Cartel come with a bracelet and was this the 21j or the ETA version? My guess is ETA, since doesn't Omega use decorated ETA movements in a lot of their watches?

preacher62 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I meant to say that it is a Mk 1 or Mk 2 bezel...not dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
