stratcat Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think I've just scrogged the 2836 in my SSD. I removed the crown to shave the cg's. I was careful to push down the detent only till it released the crown. I was also careful to leave the crown in the wind position. Shaved the guards, went to insert the crown, and it would not retain. I was also careful to not press the detent on insertion. All to no avail. The mov't runs, but the crown won't engage or retain. From what I understand there is no quick or easy fix to this prob. Can anyone recommend someone to rectify this for me? I'm afraid I don't have the expertise to dissasemble the mov't to rectify. I mean I think that's obvious. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi it may be that the keyless works has come a bit undone, have you tryed gently turning the crown as it goes in ? Does the crown go all the way in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Bazz has done an excellent write up on repairing this issue. Essentially, there is a small lever for the release that needs to be repositioned. Not a difficult thing to do, but it does require removing the hands, dial and keyless works cover.

stratcat Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks for your reply, Andy. Unfortunately, yes on both counts. The good news is the crown guards look great! lol. This may be my motivation for beginning to learn watchmaking. I have several gens, so no hurry. This was my first rep (from Trusty) and I was going to shave the CG's and replace the bezel. Looks like I've done it now. Great watch for the money. Keeping spot on time and pretty close to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
