Hey chaps, this is a guide on installing a case tube on my omega. I wore the watch and the clasp broke and causes the watch the drop on the floor and therefore the case tube broke. So today i just source a case tube plus crown and luckily the seller do sell the omega rep case tube and crown plus the omega logo on it. So lets the picture do the talking!
First you need to buy the tools to make the thread. So luckily i bought the crown at town and there are lots of hardware shop. So patience is the key virtue to do this and i been asking each and every shop for the thread to put in this case tube in the case. By borrow from them a caliper to measure the thread. And i have measured around 2.5mm. Plus you need to buy a hand tapping tools. The one that you can use it to manually tap it.
My case before tapping. No thread at all. I have removed the case tube by using the drilling bits and screw it and the broken case tube have been into small pieces of brass (i dont know how to explain it!)
And slowly align it and turn it to make the thread! Turn it slowly. U might want to put some oil to make it easier but i find that not necessary.
Done! U can see the thread!
Sorry i didnt take a picture for the next step but you gotta put some threadlocker on the thread.
After putting the thread locker, screw in the case tube. Im using a pliers.
And voila!
Thanks for watching! This is my first guide. I hope to contribute more. After my exam, im gonna do a guide about dg2813 disassemble.
