Greetings everyone, 

 

Got this nice early 176.007 Omega.. and well one pusher is broken. 

At closer inspection, I found that the pushers are not identical. So I would assume someone tried to replace the pusher, but probably they didn't have the right part, so they used what they had. 

I did try to find the number/parts my self, and this is what I found, not one but two "086ST005" and "086ST0005" numbers. Not sure are those identical or different part. Or even if those are the once I need.

 

Now the question is, does anyone know the proper part number of the pusher? 

 

Many thanks!

long time ago this would've been so much simpler when I had access to Swatch group but the source that I had no longer has access so were stuck with cousins.

The old case numbers are interesting that's not actually a decimal point in the number. it's why normally if you what the cousins and search for the number it only really want a search for the first three numbers or the modified version like I have at the link below. Then there's a problem with omega case numbers that case number fits a whole bunch of different material cases as a guess based on the number of PDFs C go through the PDF since even figure out what you're looking for I found that on one that said ST so maybe that stainless steel.

find and replace only the tube?

did you notice on the image I sliced off the PDF that on the left-hand side there is a red symbol that probably is a on the website click this and get a parts breakdown. So conceivably there is a parts breakdown for all the components which means by theory you could get just what you need. Like if somebody probably on eBay needed just the button and didn't need the other part. Otherwise at least here I can see what you're getting it looks like the whole thing.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Hah! Well, California will have to do. Lived in TX for a brief period back in the early 70s, though, so maybe that counts. 🙂 Funny you should mention making vacuum tubes- I've actually tinkered with that! It's REALLY tough to do, and I've never made one more complicated than a simple diode that barely worked, but I have played around at it. But there's just no infrastructure for vacuum tube fabrication. I can get a lathe and learn how to use it to make complex parts, and while it might take a while to learn- and money to get the equipment, of course- it is possible to do more or less "off the shelf". But vacuum tubes, not so much. There are a few folks out there doing some crazy cool work with bespoke tubes, but they have setups that are far beyond what I can manage in my environment and it's mostly stuff they built by hand. I also have been playing with making piezoelectric Rochelle Salt crystals to replace ancient vacuum tube turntable needles- nobody's made those commercially for probably 60 years. I'm a sucker for learning how to do weird things no one does any more so I can make things no one uses work again. (I think this is drifting off the topic of lathes, lol).

      You shoulda been born in Texas. Tough to make a vacuum tube though. You can substitute with a MOSFET eq ckt I guess. I was playing around making a pinion the other day. More to it than meets the eye.

      Replacing crystal, do I need a bezel tool?

      By zx6rfool · Posted

      Well, turns out it was a fake bezel! The crystal is domed mineral glass and I was able to find a cheap replacement that should be here in two days.  I used my crappy little press to pop out the cracked crystal, Ill give the case a good cleaning in the meantime and do a once over on the movement.

      Early ‘90s Debenhams in Oxford Street at InTime Watch Repairs. The older guy was one of my mentors Mr John Campfield, fantastic ex-Omega watchmaker. Good times - black hair gone now! 😄

      Heh. Well, also I just want to be able to do it, for no other reason than it's interesting. Same reason I restore antique tube radios and ancient computers- like, from the 1970s.  Sometimes, the parts just aren't there and you have to know how to make them. Learning how is a challenge and can take months or years, but it's honestly the best part! You can't beat that sense of triumph when you do something that's really hard to learn to do and do it well.
