Omega

I need help with a sparepart.....

I have searched all possible places at vintage watchmakers, eBay, etc. and so far without success.

I need a sweep second pinion for an Omega caliber 354.

Parts number is 351.1250 and it is the same sweep second pinion in both caliber 351-352 and 354

Maybee you know where I can find a used clockwork or just a sweep second pinion.

It is for my 1952 project Constellation ref. 2648-2.

Best

Thomas

What is "F&B in Oakland CA"?

Hi I have tried google F&B in Oakland CA, but cant find any firms related to selling watch parts, anyone who can guide my with a link or searchword. Best Thomas

Try Googling Ofrei.com..

...However, the company name is Frei & Borel (F&B) in Oakland, California. They are an authorized Omega parts distributor. If they don't have it in stock, they will call Omega Switzerland. Hope this helps, gatorcpa

Thanks...
