·Hello, I'm currently having trouble sourcing a crystal for an Omega Seamaster case ref. 14730 and would really appreciate some help. I previously bought a generic PZ5072 from CousinsUK but found that this was at least 1 mm taller than the original crystal and leaves a significant gap in the case when assembled. I believe I have a Sternkreuz XAC316597 which is at the link here: https://www.cousinsuk.com/sku/detai...s/xac316597?skuId=2006&productCategoryId=2208.
Are there alternate versions of the PZ5072 crystal with different heights? I'm confused that a "standard" part has so much variance. I also have a companion post on watchrepairtalk found here: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/35522-sourcing-pz5072-for-omega-seamaster/. My guess is that the use of a screwed in movement ring means that the taller crystal can't fit.
Any help would be appreciated! I am open to buying any crystal that fits, generic or authentic, but would like to confirm that the crystal is the correct height before pulling the trigger.
