i found them too small for bigger wrists. it is nothing special in my opinion. it is part of the Geneve collection with an anchor painted on the dial..... exept for the turning bezel version, i guess..... kind regards. achim
Would anyone be able to tell me what the serial no of the correct crown is?
I read somewhere that there are some court cases pending regarding these restrictive practices by Swatch. Anyone know how these are progressing? I think a while back in UK, car manufacturers tried to restrict genuine parts to independent garages but they were taken to court and the consumer eventually won.

...but it's the 3rd party resellers that often have stock in discontinued parts like the 42057ST winding crown!
I guess Swatch Group doesn't like not having total control over such parts.
You mean "SELL one"?
What's crazy is that Cousins most likely has the part (the message I got didn't say "out of stock") but is somehow restricted from selling it. Swatch Group has them by the balls somehow. I wonder what kind of contractual obligation Swatch has over parts resellers like CousinsUK? Perhaps the use of the brand names like Omega etc.?
You are completely misunderstanding what the message from Cousins means.
What the message you received means is that Cousins doesn't have the crown in stock to sell you, and they are restricted from buying more from Omega (because Omega no longer supplies any third party resellers). But it's a moot point anyway because Omega doesn't even have the crowns anymore, so even if Cousins could buy one, there aren't any to buy...
That's actually a Tissot crown.
