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.
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.
Just bought everything except for the crystal, I'm still looking for a place that sells one that will fit the 14716 case.
I like that dial. If the feet aren't in the right position for your movement, this link might be of use - apologies if I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs. http://watchguy.co.uk/how-to-re-attach-dial-feet-with-a-soldering-machine/
