Hello is the case with the red bezel still available?
Thanks
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?
T tirkksRecently 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.
A alecholaHello 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.
T tirkksIf 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.
