Alternate idea: pull the button out of an early one or two button Hamilton. The buttons are the same(same company), they just appear different because the Hamilton has a curved case side, Omega is straight. Good luck on heating the button and digging it out....but you can try it safely using a soldering iron or even a small torch(butane pencil torch is great for this work), since gold has a much higher melting point than solder. I have a bunch of those cases with virtually useless glass, pm me and I can send you one. :)
