Here are some crowns fitted with the stem I mentioned.

I assume none are Omega as they all appear to be male on the crown, and all the split stems I've seen with Omega have been female on the crown.

What I have here are not Omega, several brands but these are mainly Benrus.

I have a male split stem if he needed one.

Thanks again everyone! Regarding functionality of the male stem, I have a few other omega female stem/crown combos lying around and I tried some on the De Ville. One in particular worked very well and I would've kept it on had it been gold tone instead of steel. Will keep my eyes out for hands I guess, no rush at this point. Will report back on whether the new stem/crown combo work, cheers!

Indeed! Needs a little bit of aging to really match the rest of the watch, but oh well. Also still on the lookout for the minute hand! Thanks gents.
