Parts to Restore Seamaster

Looking for advice on where to source an Omega crown and crystal for a Seamaster. I want to get it in good shape to give my son as a wedding present. He was never into watches until after I gave him a vintage Chronostop when he graduated from pharmacy school. Now he loves everything Omega, particularly vintage. I’ve had this Seamaster for years; picked it up non-working from a friend who inherited it from his dad. Wore it for several years, then let my daughter wear it for a couple more. It was serviced along the way and unfortunately the original crown and crystal were replaced. It’s been sitting unused for several years now due to a cracked crystal and dislodged hand, and I want to take it back to more original condition and get it serviced so I can pass it along to my son on his big day.

I’ve tried several sources for a crystal but haven’t had any success. I’m hoping someone may have one they are looking to sell, or can point me in the right direction. Case is marked 145.005-67 as shown below.



I am not sure on the appropriate crown. Can someone tell me what fits this specific model? Also, any recommendations for sources would be much appreciated. Here’s a picture of the watch. What a great design!

WOW that's a nice gift and for sure someone here will hook you up with a parts supplier. By the way If I call you dad can I get an Omega too?

On the Crown: Genuine Omega Crown Yellow Bestfit 8100/1074 http://www.ofrei.com/page_147.html
This is the current replacement crown. It may differ from the original.

I found one on eBay for the crystal: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-PX5043-Plexiglass-Crystal-145-005-/254029877245

People don't usually help find parts, but it sounds like a good cause. You should also find a local watchmaker and look into servicing the watch if it has been a while (5 to 10 years since you serviced it last). The watchmaker should be able to sort out the missing hand.

Good luck.

The crown should look like this:



The crystal should have a silver rehaute to be correct.



And, unfortunately, the dial on your watch is not original.

The original part number is 43069, or 069ST43069. Here is one on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-crow...193574?hash=item287d9deca6:g:UkQAAOSwVq9crpH5
You may be able to reuse the old silver ring.It looked gold under that light. I see is is stainless from the case back now.

The OP watch is stainless steel, correct? Just wanted to note that crown & crystal will have different parts #and letters, depending on white (for stainless) or yellow for gold/gold-filled

It looked gold under the light. Was fixing it when you posted. I edited it with the correct part.

The eBay one is for a gold plated watch. I think OP’s is stainless steel.

The silver rehaute is physically part of the crystal, not a separate piece, in my experience.

Great find impalla62ss! Great price for Omega crown too! (Watchmaker May have to source a new stem?)

Helps if you mention where you are located, but

US - Otto Frei or Jules Borel

Can. - HW Perrin

UK - Cousins

You want a crown, stem, crystal and maybe a new 12 hr. hand

Give them the case reference number which is on the inside caseback

DON

The hour hand is near 8 o'clock so is there.

Thanks for all the help!
