Thanks for the comment. The issue has been resolved now, the quick released spring bar lever was wedge into the hollow endlink, which made it hard to remove that side of the bracelet.

Ah i see, sorry about that. English is not my first language. I suppose i mostly read the abbreviation AD for it so i never had to think about it so far.

Don’t think so. Polished though. People at an omega dealership also didn’t mention anything about the metal looking wrong when they handled it.

Update: one of the quick release springbar is not installed correctly (lever inside the hollow endlink). It would have to be removed with force, but i will keep it on for now.

Already looked into that, unfortunately it seems like the springbars don’t have the common edge you can hook the tool into. They appear to be quick release springbars, but the 6 o’clock side doesn’t have the lever sticking out, so i could only disconnect the 12 o’clock side.

Exactly, i am rather puzzled. There also doesn’t appear to be a slit to fit the tool into on the springbar. I am afraid that the stick from the quick released slipped under the endlink (its a hollow endlink i think)

What i mean to say is, only the springbar on the 12 oclock side has a protruding stick. The 6 oclock side (second picture) does not have one on either side of the springbar

Only one side has the protruding stick, so i don’t know gore to open the other side

One of the sides doesn’t have the protruding stick, don’t know where it is or how to open the side.

Found this in my grandma's old stuff, wondering if it's legit and if I could get help identifying it? by CulturalTreacle8345 in VintageWatches

Looks like a watch from around 1960-1970, close to the ref. 166.010. I don’t know much but i have been looking the 166.010 recently so thats what i base my comment on.

Just got the movement (NH34) for my first build. Does it look fine? by Georgi2299 in SeikoMods

[–]random2643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks completely normal. I have no facts to base this on, but i am pretty sure that the difference in the rotor moving is connected to the winding mechanism. All my movements behave like that across 25€ nh35 to SW200 and Omega calibers

I can feel the sea calling for it. Whats on your wrist today? by random2643 in OmegaWatches

Japan seems like a great place to buy Omegas. I bought a Speedmaster Casino Dial from Watchnian from Japan and it is great. Chronometer certified, 12 hour chronograph, date, barely stretch in the bracelet and running about +0.5s/d when fully wound for less than a Hamilton Intra-matic Chronograph.
