Rolex Sub Replica | Crown won't screw in...
Dedsec replied to Dedsec's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
As the tube is really small, theres no real way to get a good grip and unscrew the crown of the tube, if thats what you meant.- 9 replies

Rolex Sub Replica | Crown won't screw in...
Dedsec replied to Dedsec's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
Turns out that's really the problem and the tube's "screwing" part barely screws in the body (tested it with mechanism / face removed), it's very easy to "overscrew" and the tube jumps back out. I'll either use some commercial adheasive / glue by Loctite to make sure it can screw in again, and if that fails ill remove the glue and the old tube (with a heatgun / hair dryer) and replace it with a new one. Thank you for your help dude, I really appreciate it!- 9 replies

UPDATE: Is that.... the tube...? STUCK on the crown? If this is really what happened then it's probably much easier to fix- 9 replies

I just dissasembled the watch to see what kind of tube is in there... Is the tube supposed to be under the bezel, inside the case? It looks like mine doesn't have anything there...? Hopefully these images will help you understand what's going on lol I've seen a few videos and I believe I should be able to see the tube right on the outside of the case... Do you reckon I can find replacement for that?- 9 replies

Hello guys, Suddenly the crown on my rolex submariner replica won't screw in, it gets tight when im screwing it in, but not enough to hold it in place, and as a result it will just spin forever. I've done some research and it looks like the tube is stripped, or at least that's what I think. I'd like some guidance in order to fix it / replace it. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to repairing or modifying a watch, so I have no clue what tools do I need, what replacement parts will fit my watch, and where to get them. If there's anyone who ha
