So, after only a few short months with this watch, I somehow managed to strip the crown threads. The crown absolutely will not catch when trying to screw it in, no matter what, there's nothing left there. I've tried all the tricks, backing the crown out, reversing it, etc, but there's nothing left. I originally thought the whole watch was junked, but after doing some research it looks like the threads are on the crown and crown tube, and not on the case itself.
Are there any vendors (CONUS) and/or watch smiths (ALSO CONUS) who can supply the parts for or make such repairs? I am located in South Florida, if that helps. Not sure where to start - I really love this watch, and I'd like to try and get it fixed if I can.
Also.......any harm in just wearing the watch like this? The crown sticks out maybe 1-1.5 MM and I don't think really interacts with my wrist.
Thanks in advance!!
