·Hi
Are the crowns on 1950s and 60s 18k Seamasters made of gold, or are they plated/veneered/capped?

·Be aware that Omega has not made any gold capped or gold filled crowns since the 60's.
Anyone selling NOS crowns are just selling older gold plated which don't have the same warmth soft color as the gold cap/filled.
You would need to show the model you have to let you know how difficult it will be to find a crown
4 notched. Very difficult. Found 2 in over 400 crowns from lot purchases
