Help-I think my superocean abyss has a stripped crown.....

[tframo]

I love this watch a me have been wearing almost daily for last month or so. Today I noticed the crown wasnt catching. I believe this is a stripped crown but I've never had one before

Can any experts chime in and give advice on what I can do to fix?

I ordered a gen breitling crown and tube from Clarks for $50 in case I need them

Thanks in advance for your insight

Not 100% Tony but sure sounds like it.

Can't see properly Tony but if it's not catching at all then pretty sure it'd be stripped, on the plus side that crown and tube sounds like a great deal!

Thanks guys. I sent the watch off the my trusted smith.

Hopefully it's fixable and better than new.

Should be able to sort it out for you. Especially with a new crown and tube in hand. Hopefully the tube will fit the case without much difficulty. Not sure I have heard of anyone yet upgrading those parts.

Yes I'm interested in how this upgrade goes too, at that sort of money makes it worthwhile
