    Hello, I just bought this original watch at a decent price but the crown doesn’t seem original and the crystal is cracked a little.
    How much does an original crown costs? Should I replace the crystal?
    Any advice? Should I get it re plated?

    thank you

    Depends where you live. Original omega plexi is app EUR 80 and crown app EUR 40 (or was it EUR 50). I would replace it with a generic plexi and crown. That's together around EUR 40. New plating. Not sure if that's possible in a acceptable way. Not sure abouth the costs either. Remember this is not the most valuable omega so keep the costs of repair in perspective.

    Thanks for your answer. I live in Kuwait. Do you know the value of a watch like this?

    In perfect original condition EUR 850. Your condition between EUR 175 and EUR 350. But after cleaning up it could be a bit more. The dial seems great while the case is very degraded. But most people look at dial condition. After a new plexi the dial will shine again and you will see a different watch.
