I dunno how it really happened...but I managed to break the stem off my BP 5004
only a week owning the watch, and I could tell it may have some problems...got the watch from Josh... noticed the rotor was pretty noisy, but I didn't fuss on that...opened the caseback and found the o-ring in 3 pieces..didn't worry...
but the biggest issue was the crown now screwing in very good...yesterday, the crown stopped screwing in all together...I was fiddling with it and noticed the stem was broken and somehow got stuck inside the case
now all that's left is the crown with a bit of stem i can't get unscrewed from.....pretty disappointing
is it possible to get a new stem? havn't taken it to any watch smith, but I'm sure I can...anyone have problems like this?
I'm sad I broke my new toy hope someone can enlighten me
might have pics up later...but I think you guys get the drift on what happened...
