ssabripo Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 guys, I'm getting really frustrated with this SMP crono from andrew! the crown doesn't screw in anymore, and the bezel insert is looking like asss.

Where can I buy a nice crown or gen crown, and the blue insert? This is probably the big problem with this rep. For reference on replacing the crown...please read this thread (this problem has been discussed lots): Crown and Tube Replacement on SMP Chrono You've received some advice on the insert already...so I won't bother with that one.

Sturb Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I had both of these problems. I got a new crown and thread from josh for $28 including delivery to the UK. The bezel insert I got from Tony (a seller on CQout) he sells one for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
