Guest Schildking Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi Chris, I have the same problem, only that my lost HE Cap where can I get a cap for the HE valve to Buy S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Take a really close look at the piece in your hand, the crown with the protruding male thread. Is there any chance those are actually two pieces screwed together? Can the cap come off that threaded piece? If so then maybe the resulting solo crown will screw onto your case.

cjroden Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I got my part from Josh (who I got the watch from) I've tried unscrewing the part and it seems to be fixed together as one piece,so frustrating-love the watch....

Change Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you have the tools, you can file off the stem of the HE valve, or file down the threads so it slips into the opening and then glue it. Not ideal, but it will work. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 That tube wasn't made on the case. It either screws into the case or is pressed in. If it's pressed in, it can be pressed out from the inside. Either way, it's got to come out one way or the other. It it was mine, I'd open the case, take out the movement and look. If you don't see anything from the inside, it's almost surely screwed into the case. Get an Easy-Out or a tube removal tool and unscrew it.

sputim Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it's very hard to explain but you have to try to remove one part in order to achieve male/femal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
