Hi All, My first post in the forum, so I hope its in the right place. I have just built up an Omega 165.024, using a 0324 mid-case, and NOS parts, including an old HF 165.024 case back. I love the watch, but prefer the look of the non-screw down crown. I do have one, along with a new tube, and stem, but is it possible to change the tube out from the 166.0324 service case? I had the watch built up by Watch Guy, who has done a good job, but they would not change the tube over to allow the crown to be fitted. Can anyone on here do that successfully? I have read many posts about the abilities and knowledge of Archer., who I have also messaged. Best Regards all Simon
I used a 1967 552 movement, iPhone pics attached, I'll put some better ones on later.... Its on a nice (IMO) Bulang & Son leather strap.
