Yes it does NOT work, one very broken PO... Take note the part numbers at the start of this, Do NOT fit the 45.5mm POCR

Now to buy a new watch POCR

Are you trying to replace a ceramic PO rep crown with a regular PO crown there? Thats not going to happen...

If you have a ceramic PO and you wanted to swap to gen crown and tube most likely you ordered the wrong parts for the job.

Yeah, just uncovered that.. Didn't realise the crown was different on the cr version.

I wonder if it will work ? I'll replaced the crown tube ( which on the POCR is a nightmare to remove) so the crown will screw down. It's just the stem length that might be the issue :-( not know until the weld drys tomorrow when I put it back together

I have made the same mistake, ordered these parts..

crown 42184ST
crown tube X12870

But need the other type of crown, its for a ceramic 45.5mm PO. Anyone know the correct part number for the crown like the rep one on the left below..?

I have a Noob CrPO 45mm. I scratched the outer AR and want to replace the crystal. I emailed a TD but he said that the noob crystal is not available but he can get v6f crystal for me. Will it fit on the noob case? Mr.pap and other experts please help.
Thanks.

When this post was written (6years ago!!) it was possible to buy Omega parts from suppliers. A few years back they closed the net and now it’s very difficult to get new Omega parts. Ebay is your best bet to get parts that have come from a serviced PO.

Well while youre here…..I’m desperate for a movement ring for the 45mm UPO. If you had one of those in your parts box id be very grateful!

Pretty cool mod. The tube always seems to feel like the weakest spot on these reps. Feels so flimsy when winding watch or setting date/time.
