Gen Navitimer crown fallen off

Recommended Posts

WatchaholicMallorca

So the crown has fallen off of my inlaws Navitimer, it's not a screw down crown, and the stem is still in the watch, off on holiday in a few hours so not great timing.

 

Any recommendations?

Depends if the stem has broken in the crown, can you see through a loupe if there's any left in the crown ?

Is the stem broken inside the crown?

 

If not, it's a very easy fix

- remove the caseback

- extract the stem from the movement

- reattach the crown to the stem using some thread lock

 

Anyway, in the meantime just leave the watch in a closed box to prevent some dust to go inside

It appears that the stem has snapped off, I don't have it in front of me now but judging by the picture I attached I can see the stem in there.

 

I'll have a look again shortly.

 

If not will try to reattach the crown.

 

Cheers!

I thought that gens were perfect and never broke! It's a beautiful watch, hope the stem did not break off in the crown.

He just pulled the crown out to set the time, as it's not a screw down it just doesn't pop out when unscrwed you have to physically pull it out.

 

Shame really, he's now wearing my V7 Hulk !

Can you get a close up of the crown where the stem screws into it ?

It's not worth fixing, so just trade him the Hulk for it.

 

Then get a new crown and winding stem for your new watch. :P

Are you sure there's a piece of stem in the crown? Looks to me like it's just come unscrewed
