1996 Speedmaster 861 + Moon swatch Collaboration

[zkramez]

Hey guys!

My buddy bought a speedmaster a few weeks ago and it came with some old parts. Turns out the case had corrosion so Omega replaced the full case and returned the original back to him.

He let me play with it a bit and I thought, hey... I have a moon swatch... Lets mix them together for a wild ride...

Here are my results... Enjoy!

1. The movement and dial did not exactly line up so I could only get the crown in but not the pushers. Even then the crown was too long but that could be fixed.

2. The dial and movement side around a lot so you would need a sumo movement holder for perfect fit.

3. It looks AWESOME

The worlds first real moonswatch haha

Now send that back to Omega for a service and they'll send you this...

You might be able to come up with some dog leg pushers. Valjoux 23/72 has offset pushers. Which would make installing say a Landeron in a Valjoux or vice versa case difficult. I got a Clebar case, which is how I learned this. The Landeron does not fit but the spare V-23 does.

Not sure if the moonswatch uses separate coils, or a mechanical plate.

Does need Pushers though. Some of the 1.37 LBS of goodwill crap have fake pushers.

I love fantasy frankens.
