Need some help. Its about my wm9 v2 submariner.

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

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?

if you want it for less than $80... it's ebaying time! =( you'd need a 703 crown

You also need a caseback tool..

good luck.

In my county you cant walk in to a ad and buy spare parts

You can buy stems for $3 or $4...from Ofrei, Esslinger, Cas-Ker, etc. or from the Bay.

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.

But ysterday i greased the tube and crown and now it works very soft and nice so i probebly wont do anything for now.
