Guest yaron Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi guys, After hand winding the watch several times during the last few weeks I can't screw the crown in any more. This is a quite new SMP chrono that works perfectly besides that. Is this a common problem and does anyone has a suggestion? Thank you for your advices.

rocky78 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi Yaron, Try this: pres the crown gently and screw it first to "open direction" untill it clicks, then screw it to close direction -Rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yaron Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi Rocki Thanks for your quick advise, tried it but does not work. The crown still refuses to screw in. Yaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Common problem on most of the Omega's lately, PO, SMP Chrono etc... Only fix is to replace the crown, I have replaced them all with genuine crowns to eliminate the problem all together. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yaron Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi The Zigmeister, Thanks for your insight, I guess this is the final "sentence" when it comes from you. I understand that you are fully booked during the next 2 months? Is it possible to buy the crown from Ofrei and maybe you know the catalog # they need? Thanks again and best regards, Yaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again and best regards, Yaron I wish I had better news, but I had to replace all of mine... To make sure I give you the correct part numbers, please post a picture or a link of your watch, the PO automatic and the SMP chrono take different crowns and tubes, I dont' want you ordering the wrong parts. I'll have to look in my reference info to get you the correct parts once I see exactly what you have. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have UPO, and I still don't have this problem, but I just want to know what to do if *hit happens. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
