Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I think my crown on my wm9 v2 submariner is begining to strip Now i know a gen crown will fit directly and i think i can do the work myself! But i need a new gen crown and a stem. The stem i just want in case. Anyone know how much this will cost me?

preacher62 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 You can buy stems for $3 or $4...from Ofrei, Esslinger, Cas-Ker, etc. or from the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 You can probably use the same stem. Just measure the exact length from the inside lip of the crown to the end of the stem so you get the length exact after you swap it. Are you sure its the crown and not the tube? The tube would be cheaper to replace so hopefully thats the problem. You should probably replace the tube while you are at it. Tubes are about $12-15 on ebay. Yuki also has a gen size crown and tube for $60. Maybe someone can chime in as to its accuracy. dizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
