Of course not 🙄

He owns the ST1. Has all the original items still. His really is a gem to see, I wish I could see it in person.
It is an original vintage Ed White case he put the ST1 bits into as well. Talk about doing it right the first time @ext1. From a fellow ST1 owner 👍.

Thank you for the kind words - always welcome if you swing by Seoul Korea 👍
I didn’t want to do any irreversible actions to the stock ST1 too, since I really like the stock configuration as well... so the only way was to fit a vintage case to it. Super expensive mod but well worth it!

It’s on my very short list of places I want to travel to so I may take you up on that if my future allows me my dream trip to Asia.

·Has anyone done this to a 39.7mm Speedmaster reduced - the Mitsushoki mod? my gripe is that the strap is 19mm, no one makes a curved end 19mm - unless anyone knows otherwise?
thanks

Um, doing the panda mod to a speedy reduced won't be called a Mitsu mod. It would be called probably the Marui mod because the Marui speedy is known to be the panda configuration of the reduced model.
If you get hold of the parts you'd be able to do the swap. For the reduced model people usually just buy a Marui straight off the bat because mod parts and costs aren't economical.
As for the regular speedy straight-lug Mitsukoshi mod, @BatDad has done a beautiful mod that you might want to look into.

·Ok Still learning, the dials and hands I have purchased are that of the Mitsukoshi. The watch isnt the reduced - sorry, its the First Omega in Space (39.7mm) I've been told the dial etc is the same size, only the bezel and casing is slightly bigger on the 42mm.
It's the FOIS? That's what @BatDad used. He's the man you wanna talk to.
I will check out BatDad
Don't check him out... check out his post! 😜

·i'd do the mitsukoshi mod, but i see soooo many dials floating around. could omega have really sold that many as parts for an original model that was limited to 300?
