Hi All, I own an Omega watch above, Im really having problems trying to track down a pusher button for it, it just came off one day. I think I found the right forum to ask about this !

If anyone can help with the part number, id be so grateful, and any info on how to fit it.

Are you sure it's genuine, looks off to me.  If it is genuine, we need the caliber. 

100% genuine, bought it from Goldsmiths with box, guarantee and serial number, just not very clean atm. How do i find the caliber Richard, sorry to ask such a basic question ?

Co axial calibre 3330.

Usually for Omega parts unless you have a dealer that can look to serial number for you which they can if they of Swatch group access. Otherwise we would need the casing number found on the inside of the back.

John complicated isnt it ! Ive got the model number, calibre, surely I shouldnt need a casing number or for the watch to be opened to find a part number ?

You do need the case number. 

OK so basically take it back to Goldsmiths to repair, which tbh thats what a mate told me to do...Im not going to be able to open it up to find the case number.

If you can't remove the back then taking it back is your only option.  To replace the pusher, requires the back and the movement to be removed. 

Thanks Richard, thats cleared that up for me, appreciate your help.

So 42mm instead or 44mm case but either way you're going to have to take it somewhere to get it repaired.

I guess the 42 & 44mm pusher buttons are different sizes?

Looks like from the picture it's a screw in part. Conceivably the watch doesn't even have to come apart Just unscrew the old and screw in the new and you're good to go.

I thought this at first but expect the C-Clip on the pusher would be too big to go through the hole in the case?

Edit

You may get away though without having to remove the complete movement but expect it would be tight to fit the C-Clip.

C-Clip

If you look at the image of the pushbutton you found on eBay I don't see a C clip. It looks to me like it's an entire assembly that screws in. This of course is where it be nice to have access to Swatch group where you'd actually get a breakdown if the part actually does break down.

The reality of the fantasy of I can replace my button with no skills or tools rapidly crashes and burns when you probably can't. I do see there's a gasket as a good sign because a lot of times when they screw in they use Loctite and then realistically would have to take the movement out of the case plus if you are doing a really proper job you would also do a dry Water pressure test to make sure the watch is still water resistant if it hasn't been serviced since 2015 probably all the gaskets are shot anyway. Which is why taking it to a Swatch group service center would be the best they have a infinite supply of parts and this is what they do all day long.

    • interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.    
    • Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything. 
    • Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.
    • I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
    • No, I now realise it’s broken😥 ive looked for one online, but v. Expensive! im going to service as is, in the hope that  one turns up. Thank  you.
