Thanks Michael! I’m just as lucky that you were able to supply the correct parts.
Really appreciate your help.

I don't know what your budget is but there is a very nice DON for sale on eBay and the seller is a member of this Forum. Contact him if you are interested he is asking just shy of 4K USD.

That looks fab.
However, there’s now an additional 20% vat to the UK plus taxes and shipping charges.
Makes it an expensive insert.

@Loupe73.
Great read and thanks for pointing me in this direction.
I did wonder if it was an original so called Ultraman and glad to see that the extract of archive backs this up.
Makes my Japan only mod look a little sad. Lol.

I may have missed it but I’m curious as to the story of how you came by the watch?

I bought it about 10 years ago with the complete bezel missing and not working.
Sent it to Omega but didn’t go ahead with the £1000 service estimate as I thought that was a ridiculous price.
I’m very glad i didn’t as I would probably have sold it on not knowing anything about it.
I’m also curious, did many people know what an ultraman was all those years ago? Is this something that’s only a recent acceptance?

A little update, i fitted a DON bezel.
I didn’t like the service insert as it looked out of place and too new, I like the battle scars and think they work well together.
