Hazz 0 Posted January 9, 2013 I recieved this yesterday, opened the pack to find screws loose, unable to screw down crown etc. Anyway, I took the watch totally apart only to find the tube had come away from the case (not threaded) The stem had broken in half and the crystal had fallen out. I luckily had a ETA 2824.1 stem. I rebuilt the case, cut stem to size and I now have a stunning AP Jumbo. All that is needed now is a relume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
