Hi All, Have received the watch back now and the crown has been replaced. Dealer advised that the stem was broken due to rough handling (I find this difficult to explain).
Anyhow, while I'm happy to have the watch back I noted two problems (at the risk of sounding like a grumbler):
1. There are now two very small scratches on the highly polished section of the case (these were definitely not there when I handed the as-new piece in for repair).
2. The new crown does not align correctly: When fully tightened, the Omega symbol is now inverted/upside down. I've tried unscrewing and winding the crown however the thread alignment will always result in the crown locking in this strange position. The dealer tried to convince me that this could be corrected by not fully tightening the crown (i.e.: unwinding by a half-turn) although I assume that this affects the water-resistance.
It would be great if other's could check whether their crown is aligned?
Matt
