Hi guys, after my 620 movement purchase (arrived yesterday). I'm looking to purchase a case. I've found one on the fleebay that states it's for movement 620/625. Case no. 111.077 It looks to be a really nice case, I'm unsure what size dial would fit, also what size crystal. From what I think it's for a deville. Am I correct? Also, my wife had found a 29.4mm geneve dial which she loves. Just wondering if this would fit the case.

Any help would be great fully received.

I believe the case is correct for the movement but for the dial you'd need to check

 

1. The dial feet in the correct place?

2. Whether the dial sits under the rehaut (inner case lip)? It looks flat (as opposed to dome) and should work but its pretty much hit and miss.

 

In my opinion the dial is more suited to a stainless steel or other white metal case, for it to work in a gold plated case it would need gold markers and hands.

Hey anilv thanks for the response. I've since looked on the omega vintage watch dbase & found its defo a deville case. I think your probably right that it will look odd with that dial. TBH I'd like to keep it stock with a Gen deville dial, but until I can find one I may put the geneve dial in it & get the hour markers plated.

    • First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?
    • I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank  
    • Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.
    • I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
    • Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
