Where to acquire Vintage Omega parts other than eBay?

    I just received a NOS chronohand for my Omega Chronostop Driver (ref. 145.010) but it took me a while to find JUST the hand versus the whole hand set. This gentleman I bought from is a seller on eBay but doesn’t have everything (obviously).

    It got me thinking, where else can I acquire parts (used or NOS) for this watch or others in the future.

    Who are your best sources?

    Well that's a rather extensive list isn't it...;)
    Any positive experiences with any of them?

    The obvious answer is www.VintageOmegaParts-R-Us.com ;)

    The answer really is...there's no easy answer. There aren't any shortcuts, so you just have to put in the leg work and search, just like you did with this hand.

    Cheers, Al

    I’ve been purchasing Omega parts from Otto Frei in Oakland, CA, ofrei.com, for over 15 years, always a good experience. Happy hunting!
