Omega PO Chrono last generation

[Yannou]

Hi
Received this watch last week

Everything works fine except this.
Is it a well-known issue about the crown..?..When I unscrewed the crown it's very loose and I'm afraid to break it in setting hours...Is it easy to fix it for a non-expert ?


Advices much appreciate..

No problems,

Mine had exactly the same problem, wobbly crown screw. It's the way the crowntube is designed that is the problem. What you could do is to remove the caseback and release the crownscrew. Then glue the screw to the crown to make it stick better with epoxy glue. Be carefull though that you dont put glue on the threads! No a perfect fix, but it will make the crown feel a bit better at least!

Is the crown loose or the whole calibre? When you manually wind it, look at the dial if it is moving. If it is, then it has nothing to do with the crown being loose, it has to do with the movement holders.. This is easy to fix with a screwdriver once you open the back. Consult your dealer first..

It's only the crown...I have a friend who has this watch too and same pb...

This seems to be a common problem, I heard this from several people. There was some guy who's whole crown came loose and he could not find it - can remeber who it was though! Seems like a simple thing to fix from the factory - might just be a bad batch (or disgrunted employee )

I thought we were on about the PO Chrono, not the uPO.

Puggy is right. I was confused when I read the comments too :?
