Omega Part for Gmt cal. 1128

[drbatz]

Hi there,

Can somebody point me in the direction where to source an hour wheel 31.046 for the cal. 1128?

I am not able to get it from Omega Services direct, they won´t sell me individual parts!

Ebay etc no luck, nowhere to be found...:S

Thanks
Robert

Can't help with a source, but the full part number is 722112831046, so searching for that or 112831046 might help.

Just be aware that there are 3 different versions of this wheel, with different heights.

722112831046 is H1, which is 2.54 mm

7221128310462 is H2, which is 2.74 mm

7221128310463 is H3, which is 3.04 mm

Thanks, I try!

But it seems nearly impossible to get this part, really annoying...

It's a wear part, so likely any stock that was out on the open market before Omega cut off the resellers in 2015, is long gone.

I only could find the H3 but I need H1

You seem to be very well informed do you happen to know about the click spring that can be bought for the hour wheel? Is it possible to fix the hour wheel with that spring? I'm not sure how, but I guess it is between the two wheels! It's a non branded part, not directly from Omega.

1/2 a mm is a lot - never tried this, but maybe you can cut the length down on the lathe?

I've not heard of any click springs - Omega certainly doesn't sell any for these as they only sell the full wheel. I've never tried to take one of these apart actually, so no idea how feasible that is without damaging the wheel...

Any interchangeble parts as ETA 2890 / 2892?

Nope.

I have an Omega Seamaster that requires that part, you're not going to find it without an account with Omega. My GMT has needed that part for the last 8 months, my watchmaker keeps saying he's got one coming. I'm picking up the watch next week and sending it to either Omega directly or a watch repair shop such as Nesbit's that has an account directly with Omega.

I can't believe, but the new click spring solved the problem! My watchmaker was able to change the spring between the two wheels!

If you can't get the new part from Omega, it's really worth a try!

Found a generic click spring at Urdelar...cost of that spring is over twice what the whole wheel costs, but I guess if you don't want to take it to someone certified this is an option. Let us know if you have any issues with it - curious how long this part will last.
