finding vintage NOS parts is possible BUT difficult if not next to impossible, majority of the parts are bits and pieces from other Omega watches that use similar parts and or donor 120 watches which re sellers tend to do . There are LOADS of AFTERMARKET / NON OMEGA fake 120's and of course parts used on them sold individually, dead give away on fake parts are the dial text, real dial will have WHITE PRINT fake dials have GRAY text, the BEZEL is another dead give away, o course these have TRITIUM LUME so a close up of the dial markers is also a way to check, last the movements serial number should always match the production date of the watch, if the watch is from 1967 it's movement should have a serial number that dates from the same year. lastly if you see one of these and the seller states it was serviced by Omega service center and they have the documents to prove it ... that is always a good sign, Omega does not service fake and or franken watches period.

unfortunately I am afraid of buying one as there are so many Frankens made from donor movements and NOS case/dial/hands/bezel parts floating around, that scares me a bit.

I didn't know so many were cobbled together from fake parts, that is even worse. If I wanted one of theseI would really do a "derp dive" first and expand my knowledge as much as possible. They are really great watches, but the market is a minefield, but t...
MODEL / VARIANT production run

Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the confidence nor the patience to collect vintage, which is why I’m a huge fan of re-editions. I would love it if Omega would do a re-edition if this one!🤞 Enjoy this stunner!🥂
Very charming
