    Picked this bezel for $225, I might have overpaid but I'm truly in love it with this. From what I have ascertain, The matching Caliber is 491 sub-seconds. I have a feeling this will take me a while to piece together, but once finished I think I will keep this watch forever.

    Very nice...I have the white waffle Cal. 501 version. You need one of those U.S. Jonell cases I think.

    So I was searching and came across Ofrei website. Are this replication of the hands? How do I know which length my globemaster uses?

    Second hands to choose from:
    Genuine Omega Gold Tone Sweep Second Hand 12.7 mm HAN-502
    Genuine Omega Gold Tone Sweep Second Hand 13.5 mm Long HAN-812

    These are the minute and hour hands I think it uses
    Gen. Omega Hr & Min Cal 500, Gold Facetted Luminous Dauphine

    any help would be greatly apprciated

    Update after extensive research the only calibers I have come across for the globemaster are the :

    no name globmaster 352/354
    globemaster gen 2(which mine looks like) 491
    globemaster like Kyles -501

    Is this pretty much correct?

    There weren't many, that's for sure. What case reference did the 491 version come in? I'll see what I can do to advance your project along.

    Can't be - the first number should be a 1 not a 3 since it wasn't intended to b on a bracelet.

    That's the serial number for the movement. Can you get a picture of the inside of that case back?

    I tried researching the J C cases but couldn't find them anywhere.
    I've emailed desmond to see if he has it. But thats the only picture, I've only seen one black globe master and it was a gen 1. There is a 491 on sale on ebay i'm debating on getting that one.

    J stands for Jonell - the symbol is a J with an arrow. Star is another US case maker that Norman Morris (Omega's US agent) contracted to make solid gold and gold plated / filled cases to house Omega dials and movements imported to America. The inside of the caseback will tell us all we need to know.
