Hi All,

  In a couple of posts I made replying about another Omega I mentioned I had one that I restored and had the dial restored as well. I also said that when I had time I would post a picture. Anyway it's sort of a rainy day today and I have no projects to work on at the moment so here it is. I hope you like it's look.

Thanks Charles. I contacted them by email over a week ago and the haven't been in touch yet. It's so frustrating when companies will not respond promptly, especially one that does as good a job as International Dial. What side of the pond are you on?

Facchini emailed me this morning, coincidentally. The chrono dial will cost £75+VAT to restore - 4-5 weeks turnaround. (He'll need a photo of the dial to give you a quote). This seems about the same rate as David Bill.

Ah, I thought you were from the states. Maybe the company doesn't want to deal with Scotsmen!

 

Then, they don't deserve this "site-generated" business endorsing them! But don't despair Geo, I believe that some places are more "laid back" than others here in the US. You'll get a reply, I'm sure of it.

 

I used to live in the midwest and when I moved to Florida everything seemed to have slowed down to almost a stand still! After a while I got used to it, although sometimes I wish I was somewhere else!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
