marrickvilleboy Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 ok, my other project. Genuine dial and hands, I had to relum the dial as the indices were like black and had no glow at all. I'm happy to just use normal luminova, not skilled enough with the superlum haha. Again, Picked up a damaged Omega 2890 movement and got it serviced, so its running fine now. Case and bracelet i will put around the movement and dial soon, just waiting for a crown, as the old crown was broken. Will update when completed. thanks for looking!

vric Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 wow.. you paid so low for this movement ! definitely a steal ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 well this project was quite expensive, should have just bought a good 2nd hand Omega speedmaster auto from ebay! The movement was damaged when i got it so it wasn't so much of a bargain, i saw the same movement working that went for $150USD! i've been getting omega parts so much cheaper from my source so i couldn't help myself but build this myself.
