ed11 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi all, Was just screwing in the crown and felt that it was screwing in, then it kinda slipped for awhile (like there was not resistenace) , and then started to screw in again... Signs of stripping? =( Thanks, Edmund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Well it may be the crown to tube thread, or it may also be the tube to case. You need to think this thru, Is the crown screwng down OK? and then things start to move?(Maybe the tube) Is the tube case, a thread fit or pressed? ( I don't know these) As I said ... think it thru. Offshore EDIT.. Just saw the other post on this.. there may be better info from owners in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an imperfection in the tube screw thread. If it's going in tight and remains tight, you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 My is already stripped, The Gen Part will not fit the case, you need to get a spare part from the dealer who sold you the watch. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
