Need to borrow a rolex tube insertion tool, 6 mm for sub

Or, if you are really in a bind, you could just use the crown to screw in the tube. Start the tube by hand, then insert the crown, and tighten it up.

Also, you may want to use a small amount of 'non-hardening' gasket seal to waterproof the tube as well. (thanks for the excellent tip J3)

When Rolex replaces the tube, there is a small soft metal gasket that goes between the tube and case to seal it up. These are never supplied with tubes and have to be ordered from Rolex. Good luck with that one!

So, use a small amount of gasket seal on the threads and install. Use the crown to tighten it on and you should be in business!

Try a torx bit screwdriver and see if it fits. You shouldnt need any amount of force to get the tube into place as long as the case is tapped properly. I used the crown to tighten the tube into my 16610 and it worked perfect. Good suggestion.
