WatchCrazy seeks community assistance for his recently acquired 1958 Omega Speedmaster 2915-2, which is missing its crucial bezel. This post highlights the challenges of sourcing original or period-correct parts for rare vintage watches and the collective expertise of the WatchProSite community in guiding restoration efforts.
Omega still have bezels as far as i'm aware as i see them advertised on 'the big auction site' ocassionally so if you send it to them you should be able to get them to put one on. you wont get an aftermarket bezel for this fairly uncommon piece (relative to the later speedmasters). if i were you i would search the internet site to see what comes up. i'm not sure about the dial and chrono hands, the white font seems just too good and the hands should be steel not white, but these are only minor p

Hi, This is not the movement# but the caliber number which explains the type of movement and not the serial# - there should be an 8 digit number... If you let us know the serial# we could help you to determine if the movement matches the case - but you may find it in your papers anyway - if the number in the paper matches the number on the movement you have got a super rare piece even in this condition... kind regards ErichΒ
From the guarantee booklet it is 15997514. As far as I can tell everything is original. This watch can from the original owner. The watch only has been serviced a couple of times as far as I can tell. Thanks. John
with the serial number on the movement ? and : does the dial have a " step " in it around the end of the minute markers ? kind regards. achim
Thanks for your questions, Yes the movement # matches the warranty number. and yes the dial has the "Step" in it around the end of the minute markers. The dial is mint and the luminous are still original. John
