路SO, I ordered another project that might be a mess. Only 1 way to find out 馃榾 Sold as 'parts missing', but at least the back of the movement seems complete. Listed as "crown works but isn't stuck in the movement + a loose piece" (clearly the setting lever). Plus missing at least case screws and second sweep hand.
Obviously, this is a project that I'll be having some fun with, the seller accepted a somewhat more reasonable offer (I'm down a touch over $500). That said, the movement looks clean enough, and nice, and hopefully I'd be able to get the parts I need enough to have a fun watch. PLUS, it being a drivers model made me pretty happy with it 馃榾
The ONE thing is: I can't find ANY second hands available for this. It obviously needs an orange one.
I was wondering if there are any similar watches that use about the same second hand? I see the 910 flightmasters (and can actually get a hand for... expensive, but it is at least basically the same movement), plus perhaps a handful of seikos with a 0.21mm sweep second hand (and some aftermarket hands that look right). Plus a few I could take a chance on.
BUT, if there was an omega replacement available that was the same thing, I'd prefer to go for that. Anyone know know if it shares with other models?
