Re: Omega 551-any other case
In Response To: Re: Omega 551-any other case ()

: Are you saying the movement and dial came from a 167.005?
No, I don't know where it came from. what I'm trying to ascertain is what cases may be available to house a 551 movement. It would seem to depend upon the diameter of the dial which vary. I lost a dial and had a hell of a time replacing it. It came with a movement. I'd like to build another watch around it but don't know what other cases it will fit. My case is a 167.005 and of course the 551 fits. Are there other cases that are meant to accommodate a 551 movement?
Thanks
David
