    Hi everyone,

    I got myself into trouble again.
    For no rthyme or reason, I swapped out the working-perfectly-fine existing Omega bracelet on my ST166.093 SMP1000m to try a Strapcode bracelet.
    While I was running, a pin on the Strapcode broke and the watch went flying, and consequently the crown/stem broke.
    So now I need a replacement crown.
    If my research is right, it should be part number 069ST43199, but a search on Ofrei and Ebay came up fruitless.
    Does anyone know where I can source for this crown?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks all!

    That will teach you to mess with perfection this watch was made for the mesh anything else is sacrilegious

    Thanks, No Mercy!!!

    And yes, TsoloT, my decision not to use the mesh bracelet has caused me endless trouble!!!
    Here it is on a Omega 1159 bracelet.

    Very nice example did you build it or did you buy it built up

    And the mesh is the way to go

    Bought it built up, I'm afraid!
    Originals are apparently very rare.

    This is an original which is a prototype for the first set of 5000
    The first is mine the second is the museum
    The third is the case numbers on this which was for Comex

    The mesh bracelet with small clasp is indicating a prototype as it is special for divers only no adjustment for retailers as it uses the neoprene extension
