Omega UPO stripped tube OR crown help.

[tagmike]

Hello all, well I did it. Yesterday I was winding my 45.5 and then it would not screw back in. Contacted Katt but he does not have any parts in stock to fix this. Any idea where I can find these parts and around how much? All help would be greatly appreciated.

Well buy the gen tube, its not very expensive (around 5$) and problem will be solved for ever...
A crown also would be nice, this is a common problem to planet oceans.

Had the exact same issue, got the tube and crown changed. Best mod I ever did on the watch no issues what so ever, go with the item number pap wrote and make it happen!
