Hello,
I've got an Omega 2318/8 that was bought new back in the 40's, can't tell the exact year.
It is in rough shape and needs (at least) a replacement of the back case.
Is it even possible to find parts for this watch? where? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Almost anything is possible to find. As long as you can pay for it. I guess your watch is a Omega 30 T2

I regret i said that anything is possible . That will take some work to repair. And of course money.

Rust is cancer to a watch and there is a lot of it. Might be better to find another 30mm Omega and keep this one for parts.

I think this example is too far gone to save.

Nothing on flee bay at the moment, only one with the same referee is a complete watch.
