Stripped thread

[bennyalvarez]

Hi

I've just noticed that the thread seems to have stripped on the crown of an Omega Planet Ocean I have. When I push the crown back after altering time/date the crown won't seem to catch the thread to screww it back completely so I can only assume that the thread ahs stripped.

Does anyone know of a UK based watchsmith who could fix this for me

Cheers in advance!!!

This unfortunately is a problem with the Omega reps. It has something to do with the thread pitch of the tube/crown.

You should get a gen crown and tube and replace the existing rep ones.

In the UK...don't know...but Francisco is in Spain and Domi I believe is in Germany so either should not be an issue shipped within the EU.

I have a Omega SMPO chrono. I feel It wont be long before the same thing happens. I think I will try to purchase the necessary parts and find someone local to Install them. It's really to bad about these crown Issues.

Domi is Bricciola on here but has a subForum on RG and same with Francisco, just PM them. Though Francisco isnt back for a few days yet and Domi dont speak much english so keep it short and to the point.

Domis a good guy and quick to respond
