Hello guys,
welcome everybody.
I've bought on Ebay a vintage Omega 135.041.
Everything is ok, I changed the bracelet also with a FixoFlex (mamma mia it was very expansive!)
Now, I have to change the crown because it's generic.
On web i found two code crown :
- ST42054 (FROM BOLEY)
or
- ST42102 (See link forum https://omegaforums.net/threads/crown-glass-gasket-list.81619/)

What is the correct reference?

I think both are correct. It is my impression that ST42054 is the modern service replacement, but the watch would have originally come with a crown like ST42102. I've had a few of these Geneve 1xx.041's and if I recall correctly most came with the ST42102. I unfortunately don't have any of them anymore, so I can't be 100% certain, but I have used ST42054 on some other models and it seems to be a modern replacement for a bunch of crowns that are no longer made.

I’m impressed by your diligence @monno90.
I’ve had a few Geneves over the years, and still have these, and I’ve never given the crowns (all of which are signed) a moment’s thought.

Do you suggest other one suitable?

Why don’t you buy one of the ones you mentioned? Both seem easily available on eBay.

Hey @Spruce
I just got a gold-plated Constellation from 1967 and I came across your picture of your Geneve's and absolutely fell in love with the leather straps you use. I think they would fit perfectly on my Constellation.
Would you mind sharing where you got them?
Thanks!

I'm flattered @tor.astrom.
All those in the above photo are from eBay, generally described as ‘buffalo grain 18mm watch strap' and generally available for about £12.00, so at this price you can probably have some fun with them

Ok, thanks for the info! I found them too, but I need a 19mm strap and those seem to be hard to find :/
