    Hi friends, does Omega supply service dials and bezels as below photos? Seller claims so and showed Omega service receipt. But how can a service dial miss out on Automatic at the top. Any other parts not time correct other than dial, bezel and crown?

    Movement number is 16462XXX. Any advice appreciated pls.

    Crown’s wrong, as is the insert. Maybe more but others will hopefully chime in.

    Sorry just noticed you’d identified these already. The bracelets not right.

    They certainly did supply service dial and bezels in the past, but they do not currently, and have not for quitter a long time.

    If the Omega service receipt showed part numbers for these service parts, please list them here.

    No worries my friend. We all tend to get a bit excited when we see a nice pc like this getting original parts changed out.

    Btw, it's a watch head only deal. No bracelet involved.

    Unfortunately no P/Ns listed. Only a level 4 service which cost almost SGD2K in yr 2008.

    Looks like a refinished dial and bezel that omega sent out to a third party to perform. An example of why we generally don't recommend sending vintage omegas to omega for restoration.

    The pearl for the bezel looks small. Not sure if it is just a refinished bezel insert. Most likely a complete replacement bezel.

    Most likely will not go for this as per Al's advise and analysis. Unless price is super attractive. Any kind souls can pm me what the movement, case, hands and caseback are worth? Thanks.

    Intended to give this a miss until seller tempted me with almost a 15% price drop. So here it is... Although many new parts, but still a nice pc of history to have on the wrist. Enjoy the clearer photos friends.

    Special thanks to Al for your insights, resulting in an almost USD600 savings.

    You shouldn’t even be tempted by this. One look and I will reject.

    How can you say that without knowing the price paid ? I think everyone would reject at full CK2913 pricing but it surely depends how heavily it was discounted.

    I know where you are coming from. But it is cheap imho. I might be wrong in it's value though.

    Definitely not at full CK2913 value. It cost me $3K+

    Hopefully you are able to recoup whatever you put into the watch.

    Expecting some lowball offers. But don't think will lose too much money. If lucky, might break even with international shipping thrown in. Thanks anyway.

    Is it just me or does the dial look refinished to others as well? Receipt from 2008 for service so due for another movement service...those 500 caliber automatics are tough to find parts for, and they have some wear issues, so hopefully that is. Pricedin as well?
