Hi Guys,

I'm on a franken project for my Omega Plongeur Professionnel V2.
I found some gen parts and start to disassemble the watch.
Take appart the bezel was a nightmare and now, i have to swap the "orange button" but i don't know how to do it.

I think the pin is maintained by the ring which is assembled "forced" (i don't know if it's the right word, sorry), not screwed.
I see a little hole in the side of the ring but i don't know if i must use it.

Does anyone already disassemble a Ploppy V2 ?

Thanks fo your help.

What they said! I have nothing helpful to add - but joining in the gawping session to see what happens next! :D

I'm fiddling about with one of mine here right now, and I can't figure it out.

Some pictures of the parts :

Orange pusher :










You can see that is the same size but not the same color.

HE valve :





I will not change it because it is not in good condition and i think the rep one is glue, not screw.

Crown and tube.
I can't swap it because the thread (is it the good word) is made in the case and it's not the same between Gen and Rep, Gen have a bigger diameter.

The size of the chrystal, it's the rep.
If someone know a modder / horlogist that can make a good 2xAR, give me his name please.
I thought sent it to prof but i'm in EU and even if his AR is the best on the market, it's little too expensive to me.

And while i took this pics, i found a big problem with the bezel.
The chapter ring is not at the same place. On the top for the Gen and down for the rep.
So i think i will not abble to swap rep by Gen because the chapter ring will not be abble to insert in the hole. Big problrm here.

Not for the moment. Crystal is out for a 2xAR, but with covid, it takes more times.
Relume is done, gen minute hand is swaped.
I think i will order a new rep insert because mine is broken.
I pm’d Domi to know is he is possible to swap bezel + button, but no answer for the moment.
I will keep this post updated.

Where would you be able to get an insert now ?

Just minute hand ?

Yes, there was only minute hand in the pack i bought.
For the insert, you can find it from Ali. It’s a spare part of the new homage batch from steeldive 1969 watch.
Il will not be perfect but better than my broken one.

Hi guys,
A little update of this project.
Crystal is back and pressed.
I gave up the idea of adjust the gen bezel on the rep case because i have the opportunity to buy a gen case with gen CB, gen crystal and gend He Valve. Also a gen bezel with broken white insert. I will try to fix the insert with a car windshield repair kit.

I can say that the CB is 100% compatible with the Rep case. So if you find one, you can do the swap very easily.

Crystal is different even if the dimensions are the same :

The construction of the case is near the same on the rep, you even have the hole that allows the hellium gas to escape through the He Valve.

So i put the other gen parts on the gen case to complete it. I only miss the crustal gasket and the crown guard.
