tframo Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not 100% Tony but sure sounds like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks guys. I sent the watch off the my trusted smith. Hopefully it's fixable and better than new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yes I'm interested in how this upgrade goes too, at that sort of money makes it worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
