Crown doesn't screw down

[ryaku]

Hi all,

i have a problem with a watch with A7750.

The crown doesn't screw down anymore, usual flaw in some models.

What can i do now? Is it a fixable flaw without spare parts?

Do you know someone who can fix it in Eu?

Thank you

Seems there's no easy fix for this. I'll have to buy new one i suppose.

Your crown tube threads are worn, so you will need to replace the tube. If it is a Rolex rep, I would go with a gen crown & tube. Without knowing which Rolex model you have, I can only tell you that you can buy gen crowns & tubes on ebay (some of the watch parts houses also sell good quality, Swiss made aftermarket tubes). You will need to use a small file to remove the old tube. On some reps, a gen tube will screw into the existing hole in the case. On others, you may have to use a tap tool to clean and/or rethread the threads in the hole to fit a gen tube. Again, it depends on which model & which rep version you have (there is alot of inconsistency).

If it is a non-Rolex rep, you might want to contact the seller for a replacement tube as I only work on Rolex models.

Search ebay or get the 'Daytona' Triplock tube at cousinsuk.com.
