stem surgery

Recommended Posts

Got a 42 abyss. Bloody lovely watch but the crown doesn't seem to screw up close to the case and only has a bit of thread to latch on to. Was thinking the stem may be a smidgen too long meaning the crown isn't getting full bite on the whole of the tube and not getting up tight to the case.

 

This sound likely? Is it a big job?

Huge job, expensive to do as well, you're probably better of selling it to me :giggle:

 

 

No in all seriousness if it is the stem length, shortening it is really simple.

 

Release the stem and crown, Unscrew the stem from the crown and just nick then end off that screws to the crown.

 

It will probably have some glue or locking compound on the stem threads so may be a little sticky coming out, you're best to put some back on when re-fitting it otherwise the crown can unscrew when setting the date and time.

 

I guess you could check it by removing the stem from the crown and then screwing just the crown in to see if it is the stem at fault.

With my track record I imagine it will go eventually although you will have to fight icemix for it!

 

Doesn't sound too bad. May run it to cobb lees at the weekend see if he can do it. Have heard he isn't adverse to the odd rep.

 

Got ya omega with me all boxed up too!
