    An independent jeweler with an omega parts account could get you one with ease. However the OEM crystals tend to have higher profiles than the original (vintage) crystals. Some prefer generic crystals with lower profile for that reason.

    Find a new watch maker. This is simple.

    Cousinsuk.com will have the generic crystal.
    You will need to find out the case reference. At a guess I think it’s a 166.020.
    Alternatively if you want genuine Omega you will need to find a watchmaker with an Omega account.

    This is not so simple. Very good and competent watch makers are hard to find. But I agree the OP should find a new watch maker.

    Not much of a talker are you?

    Do you know the reference? That will help identifying the specific part.

    Strange, right? Started 9 threads in less than 1 month being here. Not a good sign... What have you been doing with all the free advice you've solicited so far?

    If your jeweller has the watch, ask them to open it and send you the serial.

    Are you a collector or some kind of dealer/reseller/estate buyer?

    Why are you trying to source parts? Get your watchmaker to do it. There shouldn't be any issues with someone who knows what they are doing. Get your watches back and ask here for a watchmaker recommendation - not a jeweller. You should not have a problem then.:thumbsup:

    Good luck, Chris

    For your other watch it likely won't have a reference as it's not a Swiss Made case.

    The watch in this thread looks like it might be a Swiss case so it should have a reference number inside the case back.

    Can't help with Milwaukee as I'm in UK. Make a search on here and you should find someone.

    Cheers, Chris
