Need Oris help - Carlos Coste crown and need a TT1 type link

[ajs914]

I have a Oris Carlos Coste 7750 based rep. It has a winding issue. First the crown is wobbly and just spins free so it's hard to wind the watch.

If you push down and maintain pressure, you can hear the watch wind but it is very hard to turn. Maybe the rotor is spinning while it winds. I'm not sure as I haven't taken the back off.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas. And, can you get a gen replacement crown and fit it?


Also, I've been looking for a spare TT1 style link for this watch. It's just one link too short to even wear. I've posted in the wanted section but have had zero offers. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for one link. Please help a brother out!

Finally, I posted an Oris box set for sale in accessories in case anyone is interested.

Thanks!

Did you find a link? If not can you post a pic of what you look for.

I did find a solution. My Carlos Coste actually has a gen TT1 titanium bracelet but I need one more link. A rep link won't work. I did find a stainless TT1 link for $35 on ebay that works. The metal mismatch is hardly noticeable.

I also got a rep bracelet and a rubber strap so now I have lots of options for this watch.

Thanks!
