hi all iv just required a sea master compressor watch cal 565 case number 166.042 with racing dial however the outer winding stem and crown is missing dose anyone know were i may get one

 

Try eBay, Otto Frei, CousinsUK

 

thanks iv tried them both no chance

 

It's a 166.0042 case?

Crown should be 069xx42528 where xx is ST for steel and SX for yellow gold plate. Cousins have them both...

It's a split stem, I think, and you just want the outer part? If you can't get an Omega one, buy a generic as these are nothing special. It'll be one of these:


I think these are female and tap 9, then it's the second one here: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/female-swiss-made

Of course, your watchmaker should be able to find and fit these for you so, check with him/her before buying the parts as you might be wasting your money - most of us don't like customers buying parts, just in case they are faulty.

Cheers, Chris

 

thanks for that chris il try cousins on monday regards pete
