Omega 166.0324 case needed

[Tudor]

Hi guys. I didn’t see a for sale / wanted section, but I have a movement built up with date wheel dial and hands; crown, crystal, end links, case back and bezel (plus clamps and stems) to build a Seamaster 300. It’s been years since Ofrei ran out of the cases and I didn’t grab one when they had them...

I tried a seller in Australia that had some more recently but none there either. I have an aftermarket case but I took the bezel off to fit the genuine one and it’s different. Won’t work. 
 

So, I’m back on the hunt for a case- complete or partial- any condition (within reason). I’m hoping the considerable industry contacts here might be able to help. 
 

Thanks guys!

There is no sale section because these are not allowed. The ideal section for wanted is "chat about watches". This one instead is meant only for complete, detailed repair projects by fellow members.

That’s fine. 
 

mods: feel free to relocate this.

I don't know if this is possible but you could contact watchmakers in your area with an Omega parts account to order a case directly from Omega ? 055ST1660324             Seems to be the reference number for the case you're looking for.

The Omega forum might be of assistance to source a case as well.

I had asked a few years ago at a dealer when they sent my Planet Ocean out for overhaul and they said cases were exchange only. 
 

That may be true, but i imagine there is one case around somewhere... used would be fine since I have all but the crown tube and mid case.  But a complete case is not unreasonable and would obviously be the easiest way to go.
