Repair help with Speedmaster (ST19 Movement)

[lint]

Hi All,
I have a great manual wind speedmaster rep with a seagull movement. I have two issues I would like to address: The crown is slipping when I wind it. I need to pull back a bit on it when I wind it to get it to wind. the issue is getting slightly worse though. The second issue is the chrono hand not resetting to zero.

I took the watch to two repair shops today. Both were sympathetic, but one was a licensed Omega rep so he couldn't touch it. The other said I would need to find the crown and then he could replace it. I mentioned I would be fine with any generic screw down crown and he said there was no universal crowns.

As for the chrono hand, this article gives me hope it is a simple fix (http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/81094-seagull-st-19-chrono-hand-not-resetting-to-zero/). Both watch makers I met with today said that might be the issue but they would still want to remove the movement. they both declined when I pressed them on it.

So...Any tips on fixing the crown and chrono hand? I don't mind learning how to do things on my own. I also dont mind sending it off to someone.

thanks guys.

Talk to one of the watchmakers here on the board that is near to you, (CONUS or Europe) here:

I think the crown also is a simple fix, maybe it's the movement, not the crown itself, since the crown is not a screw down crown.

thanks I have now reached out to the US guys. The crown on the manual wind I have is a screw down actually.

Really? Didn't know, Having the gen Speedmaster, the gen doesn't screw down.

Might I recommend Katt and 16610 or 14060? (something like that)

They're real good Conus guys

14060 or 16610 Declined the movement as well. Can anyone recommend anyone who can work on this movement?

thanks for all the help guys. I have decided to put the watch up for sale. Not because these issues are unfixable, but because I just dont think I will be happy until I save for a Gen. thanks all Someone pickup this cool watch!
