IWC Rep Crown Tube issue

[prado]

I have two IWC reps - Big Pilot 5004 from Josh and a Top Gun V2 Asian 7750. Both have issue where the crown does not lock back in place. This happend after a few weeks of use. Is there any solution for this problem? Is this a problem with the crown tube being soft and wearing out? Is there any solution to this?

Thanks for your help.

Yep, the crown tube for the BP is a problem. I haven't seen a problem with the Top Gun though.

On the BP it is frustratingly common, you need to gently pinch the tube with some pliers and then put it on a winder so that you dont have to adjust it again.

The TG is new to me does it pop out? or just never stop winding?

I had the same issue with the original SS GST chrono. Still sitting in the watch box with gen dial and completely unusable.

Thanks guys for your response. I am a bit concerned about this problem with all Replica watches ? Is this true for all watches. I was about to buy the DSSD with a swiss movement - will this problem be an issue on the DSSD?

Thank you for your help.

On the BP, I have it so that it stays in place - but any rash movement of my arm causes it to pop out. On the top gun it may be because I did something - I accidentally dropped it once, which I suspect may have caused this to happen. I wonder if this issue will be true for the Swiss ETA versions as well.
