Chronostop Crystal

Hey everyone,

I just purchased a 146.010 Chronostop (although I think it's actually a 146.009, and the caseback is a replacement, as it appears to be a '69, and has normal dial, not the 90 degree rotate), and the crystal looks to be a generic domed replacement vs. the flat original.

Does anyone have the reference number so I can try to source an unscratched, and hopefully a NOS Omega replacement?
Thanks in advance!

(I tried to add the photos as full size from images downloaded on my PC but they were .webp, and I couldn't get them to display regardless of the various image hosting services' URLs I used)

I found a forum post for a 145.009 that says a NOS crystal would be PZ5142, is it same for the 146.009/010?

There's a seller in eu, joseherrero.eu selling 063PZ5142 NOS for 30eu, seems pretty reasonable, does the 063 prefix mean anything?

reread the rules, it seems like we are good to post links, but not if it's a link you're selling outside of the sales forum, with it's post requirement listed within.
This is the link to the crystal seller, shipping is kind of expensive for such a small thing (15eu), but the total price after currency conversion and shipping was 55, which I think is a good deal for NOS.

that sounds like a fair deal for a NOS , i do think the photos dont match to the item on the list .
i would suggest contacting the seller to assure that it is an original omega and not an aftermarket .

I'll update this with responses as well as photos if it is indeed NOS when I get it.

@Hadar - did you get the NOS crystal?
Yes, and was installed when I had the service done. I do believe that that seller doesn’t have any more chronostop crystals available, however.
