Re: Looking for an Omega caliber specialist
I am no expert but it looks like a 1012 but this one had also a date wheel ,which is missing here.
Ii also had the caliber marking next to the circle where the number are (serial number?).
There was a 1020 and a 1030 that looked similar,i looked in book i have with Swiss calibers and cant tell from the pics
alone,older book.
From the serial number looks like a 1012 because the serial number of the caliber in the book also starts with 372xxxx.
Is should be with 23 jewels.
Wonder why there are no markings
These were usually found in early 1970's Seamasters.

They all look similar 1020, 1012, 1030... In a matter of fact, 1020 is 1030+automatic part...

It has very fragile seconds hand pinion and spring holding it. Also, very painful job to fit seconds hand, I remember Omega has some sort of holder tool for that purpose. Basically it hold pinion pushed in place while attaching seconds hand...

Re: Looking for an Omega caliber specialist
Yup, I made just because I couldn't wait two weeks to get it, once I realized I couldn't fit secons hand properly without it...Yoda wrote:There is a screw in from the side to secure the center pin, which by the way is hollow.
Yours is clever, it looks as if it can take several sizes of movements. I only have a plastic protection ring to put on top.
I thought it should take few sizes because I know some other movements with central seconds... I remember some Helvetia which made me a lot of pain..

Hence, good idea to make hollow top and screw for securing pin in place....
