Hey guys!

I have on hands Planet Ocean II that's water damaged, and I'm wondering what to do with it..
I'm considering restoring it since it's made of titanium, and I'd like to evaluate the investments—whether it's good decision or just sentimental.

My question is about the dial: I think it'll be the most valuable investment in the project, as it looks quite intricate.

If anyone could tell me how much it's worth and if it's in stock, watch Ref.: 232.90.46.51.03.001, I'd be very grateful..

Thanks in advance!

So how sure are you the movement is OK? IF you send it to Omega you get a full service which includes new hands and a price for a new dial. If you don't like what they are quoting have it returned and only pay for the diagnosis.

Movement is faulty and needs to be replaced.
If to ask Omega representatives about movement replacing, new caliber 9300 will cost around 6,000 euros..
I plan to have everything made by a private watchmaker.
I already know all about necessary parts except the dial.

Have you checked sold listings?

It is rare to cone out looking good when you consider this an investment. Watches are not good investments generally, and definitely not project watches. You really would have to snag this at an insane deal.

And I would try to acquire the movement differently. 6,000 is too much. You could find a other reference with that movement and get a good watch for less, I am imagining. You can buy a Steel Side of the Moon Speedy with a 9300 for $5,000 right now, probably less. I assume the movement would mostly work. You would need your watchmaker to tell you.

I know the market prices, and this isn't the first watch I'll restore—it's more a matter of wanting to do so.

I have a variant with a donor 9300 movement—all that would need to be done is use the original balance bridge - to mach serials on case and mechanism.
Yes, the Omega 9300 is also used in De Ville chronographs, and it can be found at a reasonable price for use as a donor movement.

I had a first-generation PO watch for a few years - really nice watch, but too heavy for daily wear.
Steel version wear about 230 grams vs 170 grams of titan.

Your first post said you wanted to evaluate this as an investment. I'm just pointing out it will not be a good monetary investment. And a subsequent post said Omega quoted 6,000 Euros for the movement, so I pointed out alternatives. If you know all of that already, I'm not sure why you are asking about it.

If the question is not how to evaluate this as an investment, but whether it is worth it, only you can answer that. You seem to know how much money the project will take, and how much a good example costs. Good luck!

Ah, I see... )) I didn't express myself very well.
Sorry, English is my third language.

When I talked about investing, I meant the cost of watch repairs... I didn't mean investing in something valuable (in the long term).

Yes, at the moment I know all the prices for the necessary parts, but I don't know the cost of the dial—that was my main question.

Even if you get a price I doubt you will get your hands on a new one through official channels.

Is this because of Omega's policy of refusing to sell parts to third parties?
Is there any chance of finding an independent watchmaker who can order parts from Omega and entrust this work to him?

Yes, I don't think you'll get him to do only a dial swap, a service to the movement will for certain be included but not with what you have in mind.

Of course, I'll ask such a person to service the watch. That's the way it should be.
My plan was simple: find spare parts and ask a watchmaker to assemble and service the watch.

If the watchmaker can provide the parts, I'll be happy to accept the offer.

Around $850 USD.
