Need Crown w/Gasket for an old "60 Submariner

Does anyone know where I can buy an replacement "cabichon" crown in SS for my old "60s Submariner? I took it to a jewelry store in San Antonio to be repared because the crown pulled completely out of the watch and they told me that the rubber gasket had "melted" (or in any event failed) and that I needed a new crown. They want $30.00 for a generic (no Omega symbol & indentations)crown, and $55.00 to repair the detent mechanism. Does anyone know if this is a fair price? OBTW, they wnat $175.00 to clean & service it too. I'm sort of reluctant to get this done because I had the watch cleaned & serviceed @ the Omega Service Center in San Francisco about 5 years ago and have not worn it since. What do you think, folks? Any info/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
