Crown and stem replacement

the crown has fallen off my watch. It is a 1958 Seamaster.

I took it to a local repair person, who I believe is very knowledgeable. And he told me that I need the stem and crown.

For Omega parts the total would be 150.00. With nonOmega parts total cost is 60.00.


I like the watch, keeps good time. And I only paid around 200.00 for it.

Do these prices sound right? What are some of your opinions about not using Omega parts?

Thanks.

Your money, your watch, your choice, but I don't think anyone here would advise you to use non original parts.

Wow, that is a huge markup. This is the first time I have had together any work done on my watch. I think I'll look elsewhere.
