I just received my first Omega after hanging out here and trying to learn the ins and outs.

It's a 552 cal, 14700 ref with rose gold cap that has an incorrect crown and a stem that I broke trying to get it into setting position.

Anyway, it's a pretty little watch (see my avatar) but needs some care. Can anyone here provide the correct part numbers for the crown, stem and crystal? Any preferred suppliers?

I look forward to learning more from you all and contributing when I can. Thanks. Doc.

Welcome, and congrats! Do you work on watches yourself?
I just started recently. I'm finishing up a couple of auto restoration projects (1980 Jeep CJ7 and a 1950 Hudson Commodore 6 if you were curious) and transitioning to something a little less likely to kill me, like old watches. So far, I have fixed up an old Bulova Sea King and a couple of Benrus Sea Lords.

Welcome!

See this pdf from Cousins with the movement parts showing the stem as 550-1106.

According to this page, the right crown for reference 14700 is 42054, but you might have a hard time finding it in rose gold. Are you sure that the plating is rose gold and not yellow gold? I'm asking because it's usually hard to capture that correctly in photos.

I ended up ordering parts from Otto Frei in CA. It's rose gold cap. I ordered a generic yellow one that will do until a correct one crosses my path.
