    Hello fellow members,

    I have a 105.012 in need of repair. Just want to know what is the level of difficulty in sourcing a bridge for my cal.321? Is the part no. 1247? Thank you for your help in advance!

    Interesting question, but not one I can help with much! If it's not still available from Omega you'll have to get lucky on eBay with a new or second hand part.

    How bad is it? Would you be able to get away with having the jewels replaced?

    Ouch.

    There are some people here who have parts donor movements (I haven't got a 321) I think your best chance would be a "Want to Buy" post, followed closely by grovelling.

    No - chronograph bridge, part #320-1013 (72203201013) and part is discontinued. OP will have to find a donor or find the part on the secondary market.

    Cheers, Al

    Fingers crossed it is not back ordered! Lots of parts listed for purchase at ofrei.com and Julesborel.com are in reality back ordered - I have been waiting over a year for some of them. Hope you have better luck.

    So far, and I have had quite a lot of stuff from them, Cousins UK have not let me down. If a part is discontinued, they say so, if it is out of stock but on order they give you a date when it should be available, and the stuff that is shown as in stock has always been despatched promptly. They are definitely my material house of choice.

    Yes, although the Cousins UK website isn't great (the pictures don't always match the item for sale, if there even is a picture), once you manage to part a part no, I've found them to be pretty good.

    Cousins is my favourite seller from the other side of the pond, the only one actually!
