Omega Seamaster Professional 2254.8000 Project

[marrickvilleboy]

Been meaning to share this project but better late than never.

 

Background on this is I found this watch posted for sale locally here in Australia - it came without a bracelet. It was a non-runner with damaged bezel, stripped crown and dial has seen some water damage. Picked it up for under U$500 so thought worth a fix up!

 

Here's a picture pre-repair. As you can see - not in great shape.

 

 

Here's a picture post-repair. Replaced the insert, serviced the movement (no real damage) and replaced the crown and tube and added a genuine bracelet. Hope you guys like it.

Nicely done!

Very nice. One of my all time favourite watches. Is it a keeper?

Yes I think so!

Great job! Where did you source the insert from? Been on the hunt for a while.

[marrickvilleboy]

the rep ones aren't very good so best to pick up used insert.

 

You could also try WSO for their black SMP insert.
