Hi Everybody, I'm new to this forum so firstly I would like to say hello to everyone.

Secondly, I have come here hoping there are some knowledgeable people who can help me!

Some history; I have taken up watch repair after suffering from a severe stroke 4 years ago and I'm hoping the hobby will help with my hand dexterity.
I recently purchased this movement off eBay which was advertised as an Omega L267 Movement - which I have found out it isn't, however after some research it is described as an early Omega wrist watch movement here:

I am trying to source a winding stem, dial, hands and a case but can't find anything! Please help!

Here are some pics:

This will be a hard challenge and may take you several years as so many parts are missing and its a really old movement.
You would be better off selling it and looking for a more common movement to train your watchmaking skills. Take a movement out of the cal 30 family, i.e. a cal 30T2 or 265 which can be easily found and are nice to work on.
just my 2 cents

Thanks for the reply and very sage advice - I think you are probably correct that I could be waiting for some time for parts; all the ones I have purchased don't fit!
I have put the movement up for sale on that well known auction site; a shame as it is now running beautifully with a 20s/day gain on the timegrapher.

Anyway, thanks again for the reply 👍
