TenJed69 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have a V2 Chronomat Evo. The crown slowly started to get harder to screw back in, it would 'slip' out and not stay stuck in, taking a couple of tries to get it to stick. Finally it stopped sticking at all and now cannot be screwed in. My first question is, how can I tell if it's the stem that has stripped, or the threads in the case itself? Secondly, if it's the stem, can I order a replacement stem somehow? I'm looking to buy a second BCE so I'd like a couple on hand in case this happens again. Presumably I can then take it to the watchmaker in town and he can replace it (he's fixed a rep movement for me before). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 It is more then likely the crown tube as the rep threads are very poor and not cut deep enough Ask you dealer for a replacement tube. Any watch maker should be able to unscrew the damaged tube and install the new one. This is really a simple fix. Eventually the new one will go as well. You really need to take care when unscrewing/screwing the crown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
