Source for crown/tube for SMP chrono?

[bonecollector]

I've been haunting all the forums with this question - I need to replace the stripped crown/tube on my SMP Chrono. I was thinking gen for a while, but every repair guy on the forums I've contacted told me that a gen may or may not fit. I'd prefer to source a rep crown/tube somewhere so that I don't spend money on the gen crown and tube and then find out they could not be installed. It appears speedy would do it with rep crown/tube, but his turnaround time is something like three months. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

The crown and tube for the SMP chrono are for Omega case number: 178.0514

You can install the Omega parts in the rep. the part numbers you'd need are as follows:

Crown: OME-ST42154

Crown tube: 090ST1237

Ofrei has both of these in stock.

The crown is $49. The tube is $12.20.

Thanks. I know about the gen parts at ofrei, but as I said above, I'd prefer to go rep because I'd be sure the parts would fit.

I installed a gen crown and tube in a rep seamaster case just the other week with out problems, and at least if you go the gen way they will last and you wont be asking the same questions in a year
