·Hello All,
New member here and proud owner of a recently acquired soccer timer, ST145.020. This watch was built in 1969 and was issued to the US Navy in Europe. This watch has a black face and a tachymetre which I understand makes it more rare as most were white faced. The timepiece is in very good condition with minimal wear or damage, but the original bracelet is missing. From what I have read on the forum is the original bracelet is one of two, either a 1117/549 or a 1170/625. I would like to restore the watch to it's original state, so I'm on the hunt for the original bracelets. I have seen as recent as last year that the 549 end pieces are still available through Omega, but when I call the parts and service center in NJ of course the agent on the phone has no idea what I am talking about.
So I have a few questions if you would be so kind to answer them.
1. Does anyone have a bracelet or parts for sale in this group?
2. Will bracelet ST 1162/172 fit this head? I realize this has straight ends.
3 .How do you contact Omega directly for parts?
4. Should I be overly concerned about the originality of this watch and how much of an impact will the original bracelet have on it's value?
5. I have the serial number on the movement, is it worth having an extract done on the watch? Any benefit to this?
