Search Omega 2471 backcase

Hello, I’m in France and have a 1950 rose gold Cosmic Moonphase 2471 (my father got it from his uncle around 55), but… the gold backcase is lost for decennies ! I would like so much to have a backcase back, maybe a staintless one would be a good replacement. I’m looking for this back for years, no result. The watch currently has a nice transparent back, glued on by a watchmaker. Do you think I can find an original background one day? Any ideas? Thanks a lot. Regards from Paris…

1963 Seamaster 300, Bezel insert, leave original or go aftermarket?

Hi,
I have a 165.014-63 Seamaster 300, I have the original 7912 bracelet (can’t find the end links!) so currently on a vintage Tessuflex.
But, do I keep what’s left of the original bracelet insert (about 20%) or scratch that out and buy an aftermarket insert!
I will probably leave the original portion as is, but, can’t help thinking that it would look good with a complete bezel insert, even if it is aftermarket!
I have attached a couple of pictures, I would love to know what you would…

1964 Omega Watch, advice please

Hi..I have an Omega that was my fathers watch. I am trying to ID the model of the watch and also what to do to try to get it repaired. It is a manual best I can tell and the stem doesn’t pull out nor move in any way. This was a gift to him and the date is engraved on back as 1964 so I assume it was made in 1964 but could have been before and just purchased/gifted in 1964. Omega store says they need to send back to Switzerland for repair which I am worried about it getting lost due to…

Knowledge about solid gold vintage Omega Geneve

I see a lot of gold capped watches from Omega, and recognise them by their steel back lugs, and sometimes the gold medallion on the steel caseback. However, are there any things I can check that were only done on the solid gold models?

E.g. does this …

Omega just “Master” instead of “Seamaster” – fake?

Hi everyone – I have an old Omega with only “Master” on the face.

I went through the Omega vintage page and ebay etc and ones that are similar in appearance usually have Seamaster, Deville etc. – so is this a fake?

The watch belonged to my father’s best friend whose estate I handled. There’s no family to ask about it.

I don’t know if it was his or his father’s, he had a handful of items from both – generally 1950-70s range, but some earlier stuff too.

It’s not in great shape…

Will this Bezel insert fit this Speedmaster?

Hello,

I am interested in purchasing the Speedmaster reference 311.30.42.30.13.001, though I would really love to make a slight modification to it to make it a perfect forever watch for myself, which is to switch out the bezel insert for a steel one.
