    Hello there. ;)

    I would appreciate your help to find the answer on an question I have..
    It's regarding Key‑bolt compressor Omega Geneve ref 166.0123 aka "widescreen TV" (on cal. 1481)..
    https://www.google.com/search?q=Ome...VJr4sKHciRDVgQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1280&bih=650
    Follow the logic and case construction mentioned model should have split winding stem system (as it's compressor).
    I bought a few of this watches for parts, different condition, but all of them has the usual stem..
    I also known that there is no split stem solution for cal.1481..
    So, there is only two options:
    1st. I was wrongly informed that there is no split stem for 1481
    2nd. It's a damn tricky way to remove stem on 166.0123..

    Which option is correct?
    Please, let me know - I'm tired to search for info and thinking about.. :confused:

    Thank you in advance..

    Hi! This picture seems to indicate that it has a split stem indeed:

    Yes, it looks like it should be.. But what then such split stem reference number/s? Couldn't find 'em for 1481..

    The crown seems to be 42064 if that helps...

    Well, the case information lists this:

    081ST9992 - this is the crown side of the split stem.

    I don't see a split stem listed for the 1481 currently, so it could be that this is long discontinued, but there would have been one originally.

    These split stems all follow the same numbering conventions, so the split stem part number for this would be 72214801160.

    You could also look for a split stem for the equivalent Tissot caliber, which I think would be a 2571 going from memory...

    Cheers, Al

    Plain Vanilla, Archer - thank you, guys!
    The only questions still - what is the reference for inner stem part (father) as 72214801160 is not the correct one.
    Anyhow, that's something I can go to ahead with - I'll try to make inner part out of standard 1481 stem if we will not find the answer here.

    Good! ;)

    Why do you say it's not the correct part number?

    I can't find it via Google search - perhaps it's an internal ref and it needs to search for that in specific locations - sorry, I don't know..

    Oh, I forgot one more things..
    What is dial ref. which goes for 166.0123?
    As I know there was three dial variations: silver, gold-toned and black. Gold-toned for gold plated case, rest two for steel..

    That has no bearing on if it's an accurate part number or not...

    064TT1670002 - rhodium dial with black indices, and lume - this is for the steel case. Only one listed, but there may have been more.

    Yellow plated case had a gilt dial...
