I have 2 cracks on my crystal from when I dropped my watch about 40 years ago they are small and I have to turn the watch at certain angles to see them. Mine is the 145022-68st. I was looking on ofrei's website and they show the following 2 for my watch. 1. PW5139 special crystal with black ring. 2. PX5-77/PX5139 special crystal with yellow ring. I believe it should be the PW5139 but I wanted to check with you experts. Thanks, Andy
Not certain which, but might be worth getting a full service for it at this stage and getting the watchmaker to handle the crystal at the same time
I've found ofrei to be more expensive. So far I have used WUS as an open catalogue and then order from AD or boutique. Perhaps it's because I'm in Canada but getting watch parts locally ordered from Omega is cheaper even before shipping. Unless there are some really hard to find parts I don't get the hype with ordering from ofrei.
That may be true when ordering buckles, straps and bracelets especially for modern watches but not sure about other parts like movement parts, and even crystals. Can you even order these other parts from omega without having a swatch account?
No, you can't. As you say, buckles, straps, etc can be ordered, but you need to be qualified by Omega in order to obtain movement and case parts generally. Cheers, Al
Not sure if case parts include bezels. I managed to order pulsameter and telemeter bezels from omega boutique.
