·So I bought a seamaster deville, 166.020, cal 562 that's missing the movement holder ring (I think that's what the part is called, ie the brass ring in the case back that locks the movement in place). The watch still holds itself together but the crystal is noticeably recessed and there is an unsightly gap between the bezel and the case back that makes me uncomfortable every time I see it.
I'm not sure about the exact mechanics but I assume the movement holder ring normally props up the crystal. With it being missing, I'm guessing the crystal is jammed in my watch farther than it should be. The crystal is an original omega crystal with the little omega symbol.
In any event, I want to buy a replacement movement holder ring. My question is will the movement holder ring from a 14750 SC-61 fit my watch? Unfortunately, that is the only one I could find.
Does anybody have any ideas on what I should do? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
