Crystal & Bezel need to be replaced for 45mm Omega Planet Ocean

[david.the.marvelous]

Heya everyone,

 

I'm just wondering who would be a good person to send my Omega PO to? It's okay if it's not local and I would prefer to give my business to a watch-smith from this forum if at all possible. I have an extra bezel for my PO and I would like to have the current one replaced because my current bezel has a funky pearl. For some reason, I wore my PO while I was moving a bunch of stuff around and I think I might have scratched my AR on the crystal? Should I just get the crystal replaced or just get a nice new AR job done? 

 

Who can I send it to so as to have both of these things done? Again, I would love to give my business to someone that lurks these parts. Thanks 

 

Note: I posted this thread in the repair section and absolutely nobody replied, so I'm posting it in a more "high traffic" area ;P

Obligatory bump

Are you guys serious? Nobody can at least point me in the right direction? What the hell?

Omg thank you!

This is your moment to install a genuine crystal. Unless this is a ceramic PO; I don't know if they take gen parts.

My PO is the ceramic version but I don't have a source for a genuine crystal.

Omega is not a rough bastard, like Rolex is when it comes to replacement parts. Any reputable watch parts retailer can source Omega service parts. Last year's model Planet Ocean (with the metal bezel inserts) readily accept dials, hands, bracelets, case-backs, crystals .. bezels ... everything ..

 

So if you had a UPO or 42mm version 5 then Bob would in fact be your Uncle.

So right now it seems I have two options:

 

1.) Contact a trusted dealer and ask them if they can sell me just a replacement crystal (rep).

2.) Contact an AD or reputuble watch parts person and see if they can source me a gen crystal.

 

I'll try both =]

 

Thanks a lot for the input guys.

You can go to Otto Frei watch parts in the USA or Cousins watch parts in the UK. There are several threads which list all the parts by number and cross reference numbers.

Jkay, I've told you before that I love you, right? I hope you don't mind!
