    Hello guys,

    I recently bought a 145.022 that has a generic crown. It works fine & does not bug me, but I want to get a period correct crown to fit during the next service.
    I wanted to know is, according to you guys, a crown ref ST 43069S will fit on a 145.022-71? Ofrei says so, and it looks OK, but it comes from a Mark 4.5 so I'm not sure if it should or not.

    The seller will measure it for me but according to the pic I have & his research it should be the same than this one : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Omega-ref-4...062-145808-145809-176009-176010-/192335799644Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    069ST43069 is the current replacement crown for most Speedy Pros. So correct for a 71, 72, 73, 74, 75...well you get the picture...

    by the way: do you think that the pushers are interchangeable as well between Speedy pro and Mark 4.5 ? I don't have the reference of the ones in the picture...

    Smaller in diameter or thickness? Otto Frei says they're both 6,4mm... ::rant:
