peacemaker885 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Guys this is my first post. I was wondering if any of you can give me some advice. I have an Alpha Newman with the ST19 movement. My question is - is it possible to convert this from a screw down crown to a regular non screw crown? It would be great if you guys can give me some pointers. Thanks in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 You could just remove the tub and turn the thread off and then shorten the stem so that it seats correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) that would be a great mod for the moon watch rep as well whos gonna try it first? Edited January 6, 2012 by highoeyazmuhudee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemaker885 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks so much for the suggestion FxrAndy. So does this mean that all rep's that use this movement (Lemania/ST19/Venus) like the Daytona and Speedy all have screw in crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I don't know about all the reps but I had a speedy for a couple of years and I never had a problem unscrewing the crown to wind it every evening to wind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
