andreww Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hey guys, my SMP Chrono's crown and tube threads finally gave out, so its time to get some gen parts for this one. Does anybody have the part numbers handy for the two parts I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have them on my SMP chrono thread on my sig near the end. The epoxy on mine just gave out after while (I think I was pushing too hard on the "reverse" turning to mate the threads)...should be a simple matter of regluing.

Toadtorrent Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I know there's an issue on the tube getting stressed out if screwed in too tight too...Zig warned me about that...thought I was easy on it...guess I wasn't. I got my parts from H.W. Perrin...easy as pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Perrin has them, its just getting over there while they are open thats a challenge. Somal in Mississauga can probably get them as well. Im also thinking about just chopping the stem on this one and not worrying about the screw down crown. This one never gets wet anyway.

Toadtorrent Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I thought about the stem chop too. No worry...will head out to Zig at the end of the month with another watch. Somal had some fast shipping. I did my first order through them last week...next day arrival. Wow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well, just got back from seeing our friend "boots". For $10 the stem has been perfectly shortened and I have no more worries about cross threading. Had a little discussion with him about Omega crowns and tubes, which he thought were a stupid design and inferior quality. Anyway, I'm happy with it, and the money I saved on gen parts can now go towards some nice Chief AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
