I've found some bezels with a gold font but I think it might look pretty terrible... maybe brushed stainless with a black font?
Inspired by zelig from my "Low/Mid Range Vintage Style Divers?" thread, I am looking to mod a watch to pay homage to the Omega Seamaster 300 "007 Edition". I've got no real interest in a copy, just something that draws it's design from it.
But i'm struggling to find parts with a vintage loom, dial and bezel, so I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction, please?
i've found sites like this: https://www.dlwwatches.com/ but i'm struggling to find parts with a vintage loom, dial, hands and bezel, so I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction, please?
EDIT:
I found a site which seems to have much more parts, however, I still haven't been able to find a bezel which has vintage-style colour/loom font:
Dial: https://www.namokimods.com/products/...32243045597218
Hands: https://www.namokimods.com/products/...7c8b8637&_ss=r
Second hand: https://www.namokimods.com/products/...31542415425570 - I have an airbrush that I can use to paint the necessery parts black myself and leave the red tip

Bezel: https://www.namokimods.com/products/...12abe8ea&_ss=r

I look forward to seeing the result of this build.
Have you considered this bezel ?

Not perfect - but a good start ?

I could try it, I found these too:
Font is pretty much smack on but it's black and white, so I don't think it'll fit in with the vintage theme

I quite like this one but I think a black one is a better shout
