Hi, I just signed up. I am looking for a coil for a man's Omega Cal. 1417. Does anyone know where I can get one in the U.S. ? I have seen some on ebay in the international sellers section, but I need it rather soon.
Jules Borel seems to have them: COIL 9417/OME 1417 $42.90 http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=OME_1417 Might want to give them a call. gatorcpa
Thanks, gatorcpa. A call was made and they said that it would have to be backordered and omega may not even have it.
Not a surprise as there are some movements (particularly tuning fork and early quartz) that Omega Bienne will not service due to lack of parts. It might be easier and cheaper to buy another watch with the same movement and hope that the coil isn't damaged. gatorcpa PS - You can try Ofrei.com in Oakland, CA. You never know.
Found it at CousinsUK as "In Stock", part number OME14179417. Cost is a bit more than Jules Borel, GBP35, about $50, plus shipping. Good luck, gatorcpa
Interesting - like all other 3rd party suppliers, Jules Borel would have been cut off from Omega's parts supply in January. Not sure who they would be ordering it from, but it won't be Omega. BTW if they come back and say Omega no longer has it, then they are leading you on...it's still available from Omega. Rather than buy a donor watch that may have the exact same issue, I would suggest taking this to a watchmaker who has an Omega parts account and can get the coil directly from Omega. Cheers, Al
