    I am looking at a running watch to purchase as a potential parts movement for future repairs. It is a Cal. 750 and it seems to have a lot of cross listed parts for my 562, 563, and 751 caliber movements. What are the most expensive parts to replace in the Mid-500 calibers, so I can confirm part compatibility?

    Thanks.

    All the movement parts for these are still available from Omega.

    The most expensive parts are parts that are not commonly replaced - for example the main plate, or the balance complete.

    The most expensive "common" part is the winding wheel.

    Cheers, Al

    Hello!! Are you still looking for the parts? I have a few parts of 751,750,562 and 563 Cals. Let me know if you need further details :)

    Not really looking for specific parts. I am considering a cheaper running watch that could be used for parts for my other watches in the future when stuff may be harder to find.
