Ultimate PO Broken Crown stem

[RichBlack]

Hi fellas need some help please

Ok, so I have had my Ultimate P.O orange (eta) for about a month and a half (bought from PreciousTime). I have pulled the crown out twice to set the date and time (once when it arrived and once when I hadn't worn it for a few days) and a handful of times to (gently) manually wind the watch. I have noticed the crown slipping the last couple of times I have wound it but didn't think much of it.

Any way I unwound the crown yesterday to wind the watch up, the crown turned winding the spring up, but then nothing. I noticed the crown felt 'wobbly' and disaster! The only thing holding the crown to the watch is the spring which (I assume) pushes the crown out when it is unscrewed. On inspection it would appear that the tiny stem, covered by the spring, has disintegrated. I have put the spring and the crown back on but the the crown will not screw back down on to the case.

EDIT: Hmm, having thought about it a bit more I have just emailed PT to see if he can get a replacement crown and repair it for me.

Thanks

Richie
