Watchill Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi all, a few months ago I have bought the Omega Planet Ocean 42mm 5th gen. from joshua. Now the crown won't screw back in anymore, it keeps popping out when I try. The reason must be that the tube is worn off, way too quickly imo as I didn't wear it much. Does anyone have had a similar experience? Where can I get a replacement tube, as it seems to be the only way to get the crown back in? Thanks Watchill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a 4813 movement, are there any compatibility problems with the movement, stem length, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Not 100% sure but you might need to adjust the stem lenght. However the hardest part is replacing the tube: in some reps it's a smooth operation but sometimes removing the old tube can be a real pain in the neck.

ryaku Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I would suggest sandpaper, but it's a trial and error process, patience is key, if you shorten the stem too much you need a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
