Omega Seamaster rep - help with broken crown stem please

[P4Replica]

Hi again, Guys.

O.K. So having done the obligatory newbie intro' thing: rwg.cc/topic/180001-another-newbie-or-at-least-new-to-this-arena

Guess what ? I need to ask some help, please. 

Although I will admit to having bought a few decent quality Breitling Chronomat replicas (mostly Miyota OS20 quartz powered) in the early 1990's, nowadays I tend to avoid replica watches like the plague .... especially when it comes to working on them.

I've fixed quite a few non-Seiko 7Axx watches for people at work, changing batteries; capacitors; swapping movements, etc..

Word gets around. I guy I've recently become friendly with, dumped an assortment on me a few weeks ago:

An ETA-powered Calvin Klein quartz chrono; an old Seiko 7N42; a Seiko 5M22 in need of capacitor change ....

and I suspect what was a fairly cheap auto Omega Seamaster 007 replica (is it acceptable to use the f*k* word on here ?)

The hour / minute hand (mis)alignment on it was diabolical. He asked me if I could reset the hands. Notta problem says I confidently. 

So this afternoon, I pulled and reset the hands - did a pretty good job of it (anything would have been an improvement).

Plopped the movement back into the case, but couldn't get the stem to go back in. Probably pushed a bit too hard on the spring-loaded screw-down crown and managed to bend the tip of the stem. Took it back out again, tried to straighten it and it broke ! 

Now I really don't want to give it back to him saying 'Sorry Mate', but ....

So if I was to post photos, would anybody be willing to help try identify the movement (it looks pretty cheap and nasty to me) - and point me in the direction of a suitable replacement stem please ?

Here's the broken stem (crown removed) anyway:

Threaded part of the stem measures 0.87mm diameter, so I guess that makes it a nominal 0.9mm.

Not sure if it was a two-piece stem, but it is now.

Welcome.  no, it's not really approved of to use the 'F' word here, replica is much more appreciated!

As for your stem related problems, I can't help, but maybe post a pic of the movement itself. Try general rather than the Omega section and you should get a response.

Yup. Need to see the movement. Based on the stem it looks likely to be a DG movement (aka 21j) but not sure. Post up and we can help.
