    My Constellation 168-005 has a bent tube. Searching for a replacement has thus far been futile.

    Any one know of a source if one is actually available?

    Or if a watchmaker could straighten out this one.

    Thanks for any help.

    Your watchmaker can fit a new tube. I wouldn't try to straighten that one myself.

    They're not a user fit item as you need a specific tool to install them so, it would have to go to a watchmaker. I haven't looked to see if that tube is still available but, it's just a tube as it's not a screwdown crown (possibly stepped tube in this ref) so your watchmaker shouldn't have a problem even if Omega don't stock these any more as they are usually standard sizes.

    Regards, Chris

    Tube is available - 090ST4197

    Simple replacement for any competent watchmaker - tube is friction fitted to the case.

    Cheers, Al
