I'm not sure if the crown would also be 18k or not. The one thing I will suggest is that you do not send it to Omega. Just search around on this forum and you'll find plenty of stories that will explain why I say this.

Thanks i have sourced the right winding stem part no 260-1106 and found a crown in 18ct Gold so hopefully take it to a local watchmaker . Cheers
