In Response To: Re: Servicing for Vintage Constellation *LINK* ()

Thanks...I emailed a place just like this in NJ and they said they could restore the watch.

I have to get an official Omega band from elsewhere (Otto Frei).

What is the link the article on the 354 movement? I would like to read that. Thanks!

: Yes cal 354s are getting harder to source parts
: for. I made it a point to buy a parts watch
: and if you are wanting to keep the watch
: over time, it may be a very good idea to do
: just that.

: My suggestion is to find a good 'old fashioned'
: watchmaker in your neck of the woods who has
: worked on Omega Constellations. Quite often
: a guy who's been in the business for a long
: time will have his own parts watches.

: Did Omega say which parts were in need of
: replacement. Most common wear problems are
: third wheel and pivots and rotor assemblies.

: I posted an article on my blog some time ago
: that covered 354 movements if youre
: interested in reading about them.

: Cheers

: Desmond
