Hi all,

Looking for some info regarding the crystal on a 1956 2848. Pics below. Would this have had a signed Omega crystal originally? If so, does anyone have the number? And would it have been as domed?

It’s in for a service now, so wondering if it’s worth replacing the generic with an authentic.

Thanks!

 

The originals had a very low dome while all modern replacements I've seen are more boxy. Here are two Seamasters with new & old crystal:

 

You could try Ofrei.com, many Omega references share that crystal. I stopped worrying about the signed crystal a few years ago.

 

Bumping this oldie up - anyone have a source for an Omega PZ5140 crystal?

Any recs greatly appreciated!

 

It seems to be out of stock everywhere...

You, sir, are a gentleman! Thank you!

 

I should have a few spare used ones if the link by PlainVilla falls through somehow. PM sent

 

Keep an eye out on eBay. I recently found a nos pz5005 crystal on eBay for my seamaster after several months of searching.

 

Yes, eBay is the place. But It requires patience.

 

My 2848 says hi

 

Assuming tension rings on these can be swapped?

 

Patience indeed. I bought one off ebay two days ago and had been waiting quite a while for one to come up at a reasonable price.

 

So YOU’RE the guy! Ha! Glad you found one.

 

Pretty sure these aren’t glued in… but pager @Archer to confirm?

 

I have a PX5140 and the tension ring is not glued in.

 

Beautiful, thank you!
