Thanks for your quick response! Very helpful.
Now just a question to check this watch has a screwdown crown right?
Yes.
How come I see two different tubes when I look it up on ebay?
First one,

No idea - I'm looking it up directly with Omega.

I use an easy out style tool…
You need to heat the case and case tube well, to break the Loctite bond…then insert the tool, twist, and hope that the tube doesn’t snap off inside the case. If it does, it will come out…
If it snaps off, that’s a whole different set of problems…

Thanks. If it snaps off, what are my options? Drill press?
Do you happen to have a link to the easy out that would work? I believe the dimensions of this particular crown tube are 2.6 * 4.42 * 2.20 mm.
To be honest, I send the case frame to Omega at that point. They have proper fixtures for making sure that the tube is aligned properly when you drill out the old tube, as any misalignment in that process is a real problem.
I used this at Omega, so here’s what that looks like…
Omega sells one but you need a parts account for that. The one shown above was part of a set I bought at a chain store in Canada and that is just the smallest one in the set. It’s labeled Micro GraBit #1
