Tudor BB crown loose

[flaviankr]

A few weeks ago I got a Black Bay V3 from Intime and until now I also was really happy with it, but last time I screwed off the crown to set the time and pulled it out the crown got loose. I dont know, maybe also a little part flew of. I made pictures of the watch and hope anyone of you folks can help me. Will Ihave to get a new crown from Ryan or could my local Watchmaker just repair it. And has anyone else had the same problem with his BB yet, because I don't think I pulled out the crown that hard. Thanks in advance for your replies!

If you zoom on the second picture inside the crown tube on the watch case, you'll see a pin. That's the movement stem. All that happened is the crown unscrewed from the stem.

You do not need a new crown, you just need to screw the old crown on.

Have you tried just screwing it down to see if it reconnects?

Thank you for your answer, but no, it doesn't reconnect I also think, that the diameter of the hole in the crown is bigger than the diameter of the stem.

this happened to my ZF pelagos. there's a small threaded section near the top of the crown's stem attachment that came loose. All i did to fix this was open the case back, removed the stem carefully, add a drop of loctite to the thread and carefully screw back the piece that is attached to the stem back onto the crown.

no problem since

oh and, careful not to loose that little spring still inside the crown, you will need it for the crown to work properly

You are lucky! It doesn't seem that the stem has broken and stuck onto the crown.
