Thank you Dan, that makes sense.
It’s had a hard life!

 

Yes, ad now the crystal in the watch doesn't appear to even have a tension ring in it...

 

Since omega has started making the 321 movement again, parts should be easy to obtain from Omega, unless the parts for the new movement don't fit an old movement. Simply a thought

 

Unfortunately not. Omega isn't selling these new movement parts to anyone.

 

I have some of the parts I can see you are missing, I have many 321 screws too. If you struggle let me know or if you send it to Simon I am always happy to work with him and supply what you may need.
Cheers, Michael

 

Thanks for the reply Michael.
This looks like a good way to move forward when I find out what Omega say about the watch.

 

No rush
I hope you get a nice surprise from the extract.

 

Yep a nice surprise.
Extract received today, It’s an Ultraman delivered to NAFFI.
Happy days.

 

Wow - well done

 

time to get the champagne out!

 

Congratulations another great piece

 

I’ve been doing some reading...
Apparently the dial is possibly a different colour and the markers are more orange than other Speedmasters. I took a pic in the sun for anyone that’s interested.

 

looks great

 

A little update.
The paperwork arrived for my Omega last week and I’m sending to Simon Freese for a service.
Big thanks to a forum member who is able to supply me with the correct parts required, there’s a few!
Im looking forward to seeing this working again.

 

Andddddd it’s back from Simon Freese, I’m delighted with it.
Big thanks to Michael and to Simon for supplying the period correct parts and of course the skill in putting it all back together.
Just need a correct bezel insert now....

 

Great story and that looks amazing!

 

Fantastic it’s been brought back from the dead, really good to see, enjoy!

 

What a great story of a rare watch.
Well done all who assisted.
