    Hi,

    Can one of our resident watchmakers confirm the correct crown for a steel Seamaster mid-size case 2828 please?

    Ofrei list the best fit as reference 8100/1016 but I'm not ordering from the States.

    Cousins UK list only a gold crown, Omega 9 x 5.20 diameter x 2.5 (Pend), Depth 2.90 (cousins ref 42023SX).

    Can some please confirm the correct crown would be the same-sized steel equivalent, 42023ST?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Thanks gatorcpa; that listing would seem to confirm that it is the correct crown.

    I'll go ahead and order. Cousins aren't renowned for being helpful to individual customers...

    We had a Mugs & Jugs strip joint years ago. Never been, due to the neighborhood. Might have been some scary employees. :eek:

    Very nice! Yes, that's the crown I'm going to order. At least I think so.. there are at least different depths available...
