·I have looked at past posts thinking that this question may have been answered at some stage, but it was for a different model ( 165.002/ 165.001).
I am replacing a watch case for a badly damaged Omega reference 165.009 and have found a preowned case from The Netherlands without a crystal for a fair price. However, I have no idea if it uses an armored crystal or what size it is. . I was thinking of hunting down a crystal for when it arrives for me to install. I believe the bezel needs to be removed prior to installation which is not a problem.
Sure enough an Omega reference would theoretically help for knowledge or if I am lucky to find one privately online, but the size and type would be more helpful.!! Any info would be most appreciated!!! Big thanks to all for your responses!!!
