Hi to everyone, I'm new to the forum, and new to the Omega world. Last Sunday my dad gave me a handful of old watches and watch parts and between quartz and straps there was an old Omega 565 caliber! Well just the movement with a square dial (he told me that he sold the gold case and strap :-S). Now, since I like watches I thought to build my own one but searching the web I found anything clear about omega watches (round shape) that has this caliber inside. There is anywhere a list (better with pictures) where I can see what models mount inside this caliber with case/dial reference? I know Seamaster 300 and Seamaster 120 but in your opinion it's hard to find a complete case? Thank you very much for your help!
You could sell it for parts. Can you show a picture of the dial? There were a LOT of watches using the 565.
That's a repainted dial so you might as well look for a correct dial that fits any case you might find.
thank you for your info so I can evaluate the pros and cons of this project, and overall the final cost the dial must fit the movement and then the case must fit the two, ok.. but now my problem is: what Omega cases fits the 565? Well, I'm not assembling the watch for selling it, so it's not so important to have all original parts but if possible I would try to make a coherent watch, but now I think it's really hard..
