    If I knew there were NOS cases and dials for the DeVille version I might spring for that.

    I believe that those movements are intended for the Deville, with the date wheel showing at 3 o'clock

    Of course they may have wheels......and cases,,,,,,,and dials,,,,,,

    Let me warn you though, building these NOS 146.017 chrono's will require some hard work to get a hold of the parts. Ive just been through hell to find me a pristine dial. The case i got from them watchco boys though. They might have a few left, but im guessing not.

    I already own a gold plated version which is in pretty nice condition. Its a small watch but its a really beatiful piece. Funny thing is when they came out, they were the cheapest chrono Omega offered. Like a entry level chrono. Total production of ~10.000 mvmt's and discontinued parts make for a rare watch as well.

    When they started selling these NOS mvmt's for such a decent price, i bought 2. So now im looking for new parts (dials/case) again.

    **So if anybody has a good looking dial laying around, send me a PM**

    seeing a beat up version of the cold capped model is for sale at 1300£ im guessing they are getting more sought after, or the seller has an unrealistic idea of a price tag.

    Well to be fair the 930 devilles that I have seen traded for £1000-1500. Depending on capped or not.

    I think these movements are cheap.

    These movements while being NOS would I am sure need a strip and oil at the least. Mind so would any donor.

    I can tell you any dials for 930's are very hard to find. But they do show every show and then

    Last couple of weeks has been nice. My cal. 930 ss deville chrono is being serviced and assembled by my watchmaker. Be done in a few weeks.

    Also sourced a 2nd nos t swiss t ss dial. So in total i'll have 1 goldcapped in nice condition, 1 nos ss (getting done now), 1 future nos ss (have dial,case,mvmt -rest is availible through AD) and it looks like my donor goldcapped that doesnt need to be used. It doesnt run but i have a spare nos cal.930 laying around. Case is beat up but they are availible as well. Dial pristine.

    That will bring me to 4x146.017 deville chronos. 2 ss and 2 goldcapped. And i have no idea what im going to do with them.

    If you want to bid on anything just email to Rob or Giverny and let them know your eBay ID.
    They can then unblock you.
    Be aware though that prices are in $USD so you have to factor exchange rate and then add 10% GST :eek:
