Maybe don’t hold your breath. The post you’re quoting is 6 years old and that member last logged into the forum just shy of a year ago.
You never know until you ask..😎
Thank you for your answer though !

Bonjour à vous
Je viens de faire l’acquisition de cette superbe Omega Admiralty Ref 135.015 de 1968 ☀️
J’aimerais avoir votre avis sur le sujet mais aussi, débutant dans l’horlogerie, que vous puissiez me dire un peu l’histoire de cette montre ! La production semble ultra limitée et j’aurais aimé savoir pourquoi ☺️

Merci beaucoup à vous tous pour votre passion et aide !
Belle soirée

So, i have been looking at these watches for quite some time. I didn't know these were also sold without the bigger bezels.. 🤡 everytime i saw one i was like: hey, these is missing the most expensive part, the bezel.

However, many models are sold without the bezel, aren't these several different models? There must be a bezel normally on an Admiralty?

Hello everyone.
I spotted this 135042 on Chrono24.
I would like your opinion on it. The winding crown seems suspicious to me, the bezel has a strange burgundy tone and also the mechanism that despite being declared to have been serviced seems a bit dirty.
I am convinced that your more keen eyes will be able to tell me more.

I attach photos and links
Thank you for your cooperation

Recently purchased Omega Admiralty with case reference 166.038. Its the date version with short lugs.

I might need to replace the crystal and might replace the gasket at same time. Any advice which part reference numbers should I be looking for?

I noticed that someone had previously posted part numbers for the crystal but it had no cyclop for the date window. Is the crystal with date window still available?

Watch has been serviced some years ago and it has the newer replacement crown from Omega. I would appreciate if someone has sightings of the original thinner crown.

Hello everyone,

I am a proud owner of an admiralty ancoretta ref 135.042. It was given to me by my late grandfather so it has great sentimental value, but it is also quite beaten up. There are two main issues with it:
The clasp of the original bracelet is broken, and the “crystal” (plexiglass) is a bit scraped.
I have two questions:
What bracelets can I buy to replace the broken one which fit (stylistically and mechanically) on this watch, any suggestions (lug to lug 18mm)?
Where can I take the watch to have the “crystal” repaired? All Omega resellers in my area (Amsterdam) have told me to bug off.

Thanks in advance.

Ale.

If you post some pictures of the watch people can give better advice weather the crystal can still be polished or if you should replace it.

Pictures attached. I think it can be fixed with just some polywatch.
What about the bracelet, where could I buy the original brushed bracelet? Also don’t hate at all the Fixo flexed bracelet.
Picture of the original bracelet also attached.
