Just try it, as long it fits it will be good to go. Possibly one of our fellow members will provide you with the relevant technical sheet, these are more useful at the more advanced stage of taking apart movements and putting them back together in a better state.

The first thing to do is to check out with the Dr Ranfft database the characteristics of both watches regarding exchaning and measure the dimentions of both movements. 

Ranfft has about zero information when it comes to non-Swiss and non-mechanical calibers. But a lot of information is available online anyway, just search and read, again and again.

Thanks so much to everyone! so far, i found out that 5M65 has 4.5mm hight, being the 5M22 4.3mm...

Does anyone have a technical sheet for a 5M42 A?

Have you checked on the website (thewatchsite.com) that watchweasol indicate before? There is a topic dedicated to a large collection of service sheets. 

In general, when it comes to watch documents and parts, if something is not found by a google search, it is not available at all.

    • Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏
    • Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.  
    • One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
    • Hi, Is there a spell check function available when you are posting ? Regards CJ
    • Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ
