Parts Reference for bracelet to strap conversion for Royal Oak 15400
Need help in the reference for the parts to convert the Royal Oak 15400 to fit a strap.Since the Lionel Messi Chronograph comes in steel, I am guessing the parts will fit just nicely on the 15400?Anyone can point me to the right direction?I have checked out the APbands conversion kit and did some reading on them... did not seem to be all positive.Thanks in advance.
Omega Snoopy
I have the old omega snoopy which i bought a couple of years back.Now I see that another snoopy watch has come out and I would really like to buy it but the price is still very high, too high actually :-( Everyone keeps saying that the prices will go down soon, it always happens...bla bla bla...I had a look now and they are still trading for like 15k.... So do you guys think the price will go down in the foreseeable future ?Thx :)
Thank you Rikki!! Jocke too
I got the parts list from Jocke's SM300 project, Rikki was kind enough to put it all together for me and did a full service on the movement. I know there are some who feel this is a franken-watch and I'm not going to debate that. If you take a movement from one watch and put it in the case of another, then it really isn't original or even original with replacement parts, it's an amalgamation. So I can't really call this an NOS Seamaster, it's a wanna-be, but it's my wanna be.Didn't want to pay the watchco prices, didn't want to buy a watch I knew nothing about from ebay or watchuseek. Instead I borrowed Jocke's blue print, bought the parts from Otto Frei, and Rikki was kind enough to pull the movement from a vintage Geneva, service it and put it into a brand new 166.0234 replacement case.Here are some before picture:
1999 Seamaster Professional 300m 2254.50
I am looking to buy a pre-owned unit of this watch, may I ask the following:What comes with the sales package back in 1999? (Chronometer certificate, user manual, etc.)How many links should come with the watch?Seller says the watch has never been opened and still keeps excellent time and power reserve of 48h. Does the watch need servicing soon considering the age of the watch?Thanks TRF
Thinking of getting my first Omega...help pls
Hi all,This is my first post here on the Omega board as I am a Rolex TT Sub owner and only really looked at Rolex before.I am thinking of buying a pre-owned TT Omega Speedmaster similar to the one in this ebay link: item 190363269772.Can you give me your opinions on how this might compare to my much loved Sub - weight, quality of feel etc and could there be any regrets going for this over a standard SS version?Is there anything to avoid on age or anything else I should be looking out for?Many thanks!
