Good evening and happy holidays. i recently picked up one of these beauties and I was wondering if there was a bracelet aside from the mesh it comes with and what would be the ref number for it if anyone knows? I have plenty of modern omega straps and they dont fit it (yet) so i wanted to get all my ducks in a row before i start killing 150$ straps Thanks in advance for your advice. First thing I did was put the ploprof 1200 clasp in the seatbelt clasps place and boy does it look pretty.. pics tomorrow when i have better light.
hi its a NOS watch ref 166.093 with the 1002 calibre. Im just curious if there was a bracelet alternative to the mesh we all have grown to love... Ill post a pic tomorrow since I just receive the watch today and I havent had time or proper lighting to take a good pic :,(
There are a few images on Google that show a bracelet on this model so it looks like it is an option, unfortunately no pictures that identify what the bracelet is. I suppose you could find the thread and ask directly.
Seamaster 1000m 166.093 were sold on mesh. Some are found on rubber too. 1162/172 bracelet would fit, but probably not delivered on that watch
Did you mean a ploprof ? Or did you mean the Seamaster 1000 ..if the later then it never came with a 1002 caliber and it only came on the offshore mesh bracelet There was never a retail issued 1002 caliber and any NOS with that caliber is built up from service parts and is not an authentic watch
I wasn’t sure because he’s conflating 2 different Watches There is the Seamaster 1000 which is the model number he quotes but then he keeps saying ploprof and 1002 caliber I am guessing it’s a made up Seamaster 1000 ..but then you state it was found on a rubber strap ..which it never was unless someone fitted it later or are you talking about the offshore rubber extension an none extension clasp both of which I have included in the photos
No such watch as a new old stock Seamaster 1000 with caliber 1002 The watch was prototyped with the 1002 from 1970 but that was never retailed The watch was issued in 1976 ...not 1975 as claimed and only in the new caliber 1012 which was available from 1973/4 after being tested as a prototype and the last one was delivered in 1982 but it was not advertised as available much after 1978...there are no known numbers of sales as yet produced by Omega but having examined approximately 60 Watches on record and in reality the numbers in dictate this was very rare in the real sense of the word with maybe 500 sold with a certain maximum less than 1000
Thank you for the info. To my understanding the seamaster 1000 is “also”” known as the grand ploprof. So that’s why I refer to it that way. I’ve always seen them in mesh and I’ve seen the rubber extension. I’ve seen the seamaster 600 in a bracelet as well but that is a 24mm bracelet. I was curious to see if a 22mm bracelet ever existed for the seamaster 1000. Omega records indicate it’s nos piece with a 1012 (pretty much same movement as the 1002 but with more jewels and a few minor issues addressed). Thank you all for chiming in. It’s 5:47 am but I will put up some lousy pics until proper pics can be taken. This last pic is of my straps I’ve accumulated over the years for my planet oceans xl (I owned the 2500 and the 8500) And now I’m planning of modifying them to fit the no curves shoulders of the grand. Thank you all for your replies and sorry for the confusion.
One of those photographs is verging on ……‘Too much information’ Where did you acquire the watch ?… Look forward to seeing revised ‘zipped’ images…
Lol sorry for the moulin rouge... A company from Switzerland called “about Time”. I’ll do a proper shoot (in both good lighting and without showing the guns”) later today after I come back from Omega with a NATO I’ve been dying to buy. My wife is fitting the bracelet to her baby PO so it’s a good opportunity to spend too much money on a nato strap
You mean not an original watch. Because it is not fake. Parts were made by Omega... they just so happen to be stored for decades.
You mean, the dealer says that it's a NOS piece? Omega would have no record of whether this is NOS or not, unless it's been sat within their premises since production, and they have sold it directly to you now. Sounds like another dealer, adding their own layer of fiction to fact.
If it has been put together by someone out of new parts, it is not a NOS watch - it's a pile of parts turned into a watch.
I didn't say it was fake, but if you purchased it from the seller that is on eBay "abouttime.ch" that is the company formerly known as "Watchco" and they are, shall we say, creative and liberal with the use of the term "NOS." The parts they use are not old and have not been "stored for decades" but are mostly new service parts that can still be bought brand new from Omega. So they take a random movement, service it (sometimes) and then put a new service dial and hands on, then put it in a new service case, and sell it as "NOS" when the only "Old" thing is actually the movement. The movement could have come from any model that used the movement, not necessarily from the model they put the movement in. Value is in parts only on these. They have been using this shady marketing for a long time... Cheers, Al
