·Hi all. First post, first vintage Omega. I have recently bought a Seamaster Automatic Cal 491, 1958, 'big medallion' 34mm case , however it is missing the bezel. I don't underestimate the difficulty in finding a replacement.
So, my thoughts are of maybe using another marques bezel ? I guess SGR would have made very similar cases for other watches ?
Does anyone have any experience in this and can point me in the right direction ? Obviously, the ideal scenario is an original period correct Omega bezel, but what other options are there and even if I find a case, how difficult is it to remove/fit the damn thing !
Thanks in advance, be nice
