well im not really sure but a quick fix would prolly be to add a rubber O-ring?

or you could refer to COLDI's thread here on his take on spacing the crown slightly further out.

You wouldn't need to do that bc you can file down the cg lever on this watch.

What you will need to do is take the crown out and back it up about 1mm on the stem. You might have to loctite it since it won't be screwed down on the stem all the way. And then just file the cg lever.

For this watch you could also add a T48 and seads a-f cg and that would be a great upgrade.

But be careful when removing the stem and don't mess up the keyless works

+1 on the keyless part!

it was a nightmare for me when i tried installing a T48 on one of the A7750 movt and being a noob, it got messed up. had to send it to the watchsmith to svc it in the end. do read up on the numerous tutorials before embarking on a DIY or PM COLDI!!!

hahaha

I've been there too. Messed up keyless works a few times.

Or you could buy a new stem, cut it a mm or two longer than the existing stem and install the crown on the new stem. That way the crown would still be screwed onto the stem all the way.
