Omega

Over the last year or two I have been restoring a speedmaster 125, until now most of my movement parts have been supplied by cousins uk ( at great expense) - I finaly get down to fitting the dial/hands  having rebuilt from scratch a water damaged cal 1041  that Omega boutique uk said could not be serviced or restored ( now running*, ok fair enough it was not viable and cost me a fortune but what the *ell  and the parts are no longer available from cousins or anywhere else, so for the past 6 months I have tried in vain to track down a dial and hands. I am a few hours work away from wearing my 125 for the last 6 months, how frustrating is that!  - If anyone can help?

* running but not accurate - good enough for me!

a few years ago i bought a dog of a 125 sent it too swiss time services UK where all vintage Omegas go and it took them over 3 months to fix it. they had to make parts which werent available including a bracelet link. it came back in perfect condition and served me very well until i sold it in June. luckily they have virtually fixed price servicing so it wasnt too bad.i also forged a very good bond with Tony Coe who is the Omega workshop manager there.

i think he's a close 2nd to Bill Sohne for knowledge about Omegas.

probably right,  time frame is not bad, anyway, when this is complete I will only seek out another obscure watch project to add to my collection. Did you sell your 125 for another watch or was it just too large to live with day to day? Must have been worth quite a lot with the service etc.
