chompers66 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I've got a Swiss version Planet Ocean that I bought from Josh a couple of years ago. About a month ago the crown would no longer screw back in (a common problem with this watch, as I understand it). I love the look and feel of this watch, but I don't know where I should go to get this fixed, or how much it would cost. I don't want to plug a bunch of money into this that could go towards a replacement. How much should this repair cost? Should I get it fixed? - Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 If you want to spend little money, have someone cut the length of the stem down so that the crown sits close to the case. If you want a genuine crown and tube installed, it's around $100 or so for the parts and install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Chomps - sorry to hear about the PO, but yes, the stripped threading has been a big issue. Get some gen parts and as the Zigmeister pointed out -$100 for the parts and install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that this would be the most worthwhile thing if you want to keep your watch long term as I do. Cheers, t200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
