F... crown problem

[watchlover]

What coop said is correct.. However, if you have not applied any glue to it:

If you did not glue it yet, unscrew the crown from the stem, put some glue there, then screw the crown back into the stem

NOTE: Remember how 'deep' the crown sits in the stem, so you don't screw too much into the stem, and make it shorter/longer than normal
there is some margin for error, but being safe is better

A picture says more than thousand words?

Just as other already said ger yourself loctite and it is ok. Than put some loctite on the stem, put the crown back on the stem and wait and it is ready to go again in the movement. Dont forget to push the stem release butten when you put it back agian in the movement:

Greetings Navi :wink:

Loctite is a tread lock compond. Blue and Red are the most common. I would use blue, if you use the red you have to heat it up to break the bond.

 

[piratedzeus]

Any ideas... what else could be used... superglue? any ideas?

 

[coop]

Super glue gets brittle and could come loose. An epoxy of some sort would work well.

 

[piratedzeus]

Ok... we had some locktite... blue..

says solid in 3 hours... wait wait wait

 

[NAVIGATER]

Perfect.
