joejoe7 0 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Noob to all things watches but I received a PO with a 2824-2 movement from a TD 3 weeks ago and when I unscrew the crown to it's third position to move the hands, the crown unscrews itself completely from the winding stem. I maybe wrong but it seems a straight forward fix , would superglue do the job or would it set before I've had a the chance to screw the crown all the way? Is there a better choice of glue or am I approaching this wrongly? Thanks for any help. Edited May 19, 2018 by joejoe7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted May 19, 2018 Don't use superglue. Use a bit of medium threadlocker -> http://www.loctite.co.uk/loctite-4087.htm?nodeid=8802623520769 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J!m 289 Posted May 21, 2018 Actually, on a stem, I suggest the purple locktite- "low strength". I think you can get it at NAPA for carburetor screws etc. If you use the stronger ones (particularly on a weak, rep stem), you run the risk of the stem breaking in the crown. Use this for setting crown tubes as well. It enhances water resistance in that location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
