·Whenever I had the need to replace a stem in a movement caliber 552, the genuine stems from the old silver packets fitted perfectly without any further alterations such as resizing to the case length in contrast to eta movements for example.
I replaced them in a reference 165.001,and 165.002 straight from the old stock silver foil backed Omega packets.

It has just occurred to me that the stems I have used in the above mentioned models wouldn't have been long enough to cater the jumbo 36.5mm models (such as the 55* calibers: 166.011, 165.011)?????? As I no longer have those original foil backed packets, I cannot confirm if there was a reference number for that stem of that particular length which may have been a lucky fluke that I had the right ones!!
.
Unless those genuine stems came in different lengths, do the jumbo omega 55X require a stem extender to cater the oversized case???? I learn something new every day!!!! Thanks!!..
