EMM Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Today the tiny screw next to the crown on my JLC Navy Seals just fell out. I screwed it back in, and now i can't get it to tighten or loosen. It just turns. I guess it's stripped, even though I hardly used any force. Anyway, does this screw have any function or is it simply decorative on the rep? Everything seems to be working fine now, so I'm hoping decorative. The screw is tiny amd sits right to the 6:00 side of the crown. It's normally covered by the little "handles" on the compression ring. To be honest, I didn't even know it was there at all until it fell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks for the replies and pics!. You can actually see the screw that fell out in your first pic. If it holds the tube in, I may be screwed. My compressor ring (the silver part with the white and red arrows) actually came loose (it was just spinning and the crown would pull out no matter how you turned it) and this screw fell out when i started fiddling with it. Was hoping they were related. The compressor ring was actually a really easy fix. If you remove the stem, you can unscrew that whole silver piece from the tube. It's threaded backwards but otherwise mine came right off. There's a little metal ring inside it (basically like a lockwasher) and an o-ring. I reseated the metal ring and o-ring, then screwed the whole piece back on. Works fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wow, that is not good if we start to loose screws! Mine is still there but after 2 weeks I noticed that the screws of the bracelet links are coming out here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I had to Loctite all my bracelet screws. I lost one but found it two days later. Just luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, then I guess I should do that too. By the way, anybody an idea where to find other matching bracelets for this model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 @stephane on eBay is the best place. Just search for 22mm strap master as some nice ones. I have a black leather calf strap with white stitching and gen JLC buckle if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey md while you're at it I'm sure you checked mine. Was it tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
