Hi,

Can anyone point me to where I can find a 168.005 cal 561 seconds hand? Part no 066UX1355.

It seems like it's near impossible to find one because Swatch has stopped distributing it?

I've checked a number of sites, eg OFREI, cousins, without any success.

Thanks for your inputs

Is that for a dome or piepen dial? There are two different hand lengths....I found out the hard way 😗

That is the shorter pp ref, the longer dome one is still on Cousins. You'll either need to scour ebay or go direct to an authorised repairer to fit it.

Jules Borel shows a price for this part number.

Doesn’t mean that they actually have it in stock. You will need to call them.

Omega only sells parts directly to watchmakers who have gone through the approval process. They do not sell to third parties who in turn resell to people. chis part is still available from Omega, and any watchmaker who is certified can order it and install it for you.

Thanks for all the replies guys,
the one available in cousins is too long, the correct one that I'm looking for 'restricted by the manufacturer.' guess that was what Archer meant.

@gatorcpa i've sent an email to Jules Botel, hopefully they come back to me with a favourable reply.

Thanks a lot guys😀
