Just take it to a normal jeweller!

it is only the crown, he should just be able to take the case back off and refit it as it sounds like it hasnt been clipped in properly in the first place.

It should take 5 mins max unless there is something properly wrong with it then i would send it back to Omega, i wouldnt be to overly worried at this moment

It sounds like the crown spindle has snapped. Not uncommon when the crown is left unscrewed.

Its an easy repair,but you will need a replacement crown and spindle. The Spindle is usually held into the movement by a catch or button press and is sprung loaded.
Once the back is removed,locate where the spindle enters the movement and look for the spindle release..

I would suggest the pusher arrowed if your seamaster has a Valjoux 7760 movement..

Ryte Time.

The 'send it to Omega' advice is poor. Swatch has a terrible reputation.
