Well, I knew it would not be a popular point of view

 

Thanks,

On the back of the case is

2577 - 14
SC

Even just any info you can dig up like sweep hand the part number would be great.
Id also like to know if its meant to be 10 mm pinion to end or longer and also if its meant to be red.

 

Sorry not listed. This one is a bit too old.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks for trying.

I think its a 10mm because that would put the tip at the second interval dots much like your NOS example i think.
and this hand looks like it was cut to 10mm because the tip is exposed metal.
From what I can see the last one on the list HAN-497 is the only one that is 10mm and suiting the pinion of the 351 cal.
Its silver but I think it should not be too hard to spray and lacquer it.

Just kills me to pay the $50+ shipping for a $16 item that's as small as it is so i'm roaming around looking for nos.
If I only knew the omega part number for it , that might make it easier to shop around but it doesn't seem ofrei offers that info.

 

Sorry for the double post, cant see an edit button.

I found these two examples of bumper seamasters with a similar sweep hand that looks a lot like mine minus the arrow shaped tip.

Are both of these also after market hands do you think because i find it odd they have similar faces and similar after market sweep hands?

 

I will try to contact cousins as they don't mention lengths on there web page, only omega part numbers.
Good suggestion.

 

Seems to me this might be it going by the fact silver sweeps seem to be rare and this is the only one of two that cousins have.

Comparing it to the picture in ofri the dimensions look identical.
I wish I could be sure this is for cal 351 and is 10mm.
Any chance you can figure that out Archer?

 

If you search under the "Watch Parts" section on Cousin's site, they list the hands under the movement parts.

 

Listed as 10.5 mm long, and for movements 681, 684, and 711.

Cheers, Al

 

Yeah unfortunately cousins think all 2577 cases use the same single second hand which is obviously wrong and they have it listed as obsolete.

Thanks for finding out that info but as far as I can see 681 uses a different size sweep pinion I also need 10mm even.
Are you using a database only available to omega certified watchmakers or somthing like that?

I ask because I have a list of omega hand part numbers that look similar to the ofri but I don't want to make you run back and forward if its a public resource.

 

Yes, you must have an Omega account to see the Extranet. Note that Otto Frei generally uses part numbers for hands that have no connection to Omega part numbers, so I won't be able to verify any Frei part numbers for you....

 

Well this is all the steel second hands of the same design cousins have.

i'd appreciate it greatly if you could tell me what ones are 10mm and what cal those ones are

 

Sorry mate - I don't have time to look all those up. I suggest you email Cousins and ask them.

Cheers, Al

 

I understand, Problem is cousins don't accept emails anymore.
Suppose ill just have to get certified by omega.

 

On review that doesnt seem like a viabil option unless i go to swatch school in nj and buy 100's of dollars worth of equipment and get a 3rd level education.

 

Are you a watchmaker? Not sure what you mean by a 3rd level education, but the training in NJ is mandatory for those in the US to get or maintain an account. It's not for Canada, but I went anyway because I wanted to learn the co-axial servicing properly. You will certainly need more than $100's for equipment if your shop is not absolutely up to date with the latest equipment....I probably spent close to $60k to upgrade my shop before I applied for an account...

Cheers, Al

 

I think you're making it clear why Cousin's doesn't accept e-mails anymore. They sell to hundreds, maybe thousands, of customers that buy in bulk. How much time do you think they have to search, measure, and answer you're request for one watch hand? Add to it that your kind of message rarely takes one question in one e-mail - there's always follow up questions. I mean, look at all the questions you've asked in this thread!

Sorry to be blunt, but it doesn't make good business sense for them to waste time for what might amount to a handful of minuscule orders. The employee cost would outweigh the profit.
