What are the NLA 321 Parts?

Arancio601 · Dec 21, 2022

I have a spare 321 that has had a hard life. I started a spreadsheet to see what it may or may not need so that I could keep an eye out if cheap parts arose. What I am finding from threads on this forum (thanks @Archer ) is that even through Omega some parts were discontinued a long time ago.
Below are some that I think are hard to find. Are there others that are in high demand with no supply? Trying to decide if my spare movement just becomes a parts movement for my good one.

Bridge
Escape Wheel
Pallet Fork
Balance Cock
Balance
winding pinion
Hour Hammer Spring

A shorter list is what is still available. Despite promises made by Omega when the new 321 was announced, spare parts that are available have not increased at all.

what it may or may not need

My advice is: don't borrow trouble. Instead of hoarding every possible part that might be needed, it may be more helpful to have a watchmaker disassemble the movement to determine what is needed, if anything.

Ok thanks Al, that speaks volumes. Probably why movements and parts are so expensive on eBay.

Yes I do, but it’s a project/money pit currently in the body shop. Also have a 66 Giulia Super and a 67 GT Veloce project.

I think you are right there, I’ve got time on my side so I have just bought the odd bit here and there but there is no point buying bits I might not need.
