Re: The part doesn't exist
In Response To: The part doesn't exist ()

Hmmmm that's what I was afraid of. I would only use a real Omega part that was intended for the specific application, of course.

I was thinking of the skeleton when I came up with the idea, and I thought they had a stainless skeleton from which the part could be lifted. But it makes more sense the skeleton I am thinking of is white gold, not stainless, because it is such a special watch.

Would Omega make the part for me? Might be worth asking, I don't know. Anyone who's dealt directly with the company think this is even a remote possibility?

: The part doesnt' exist (except on the VERY
: expensive 18k Skeleton models). You would
: have to have one custom made, and then you
: would be degrading the water resistance and
: antimagnetic qualities of the watch.
