this is called wear and tear. just because you dont drive your car often, does that mean you dont change your tires? afterall, you are driving below average.

like car tires, the rubber break down, and it will come a time where your tires need to be changed.

likewise, a mechanical watch has many thousand independent parts operating to keep the watch ticking, and there is bound to be a weak link somewhere.

[tomasulu]

but why does it come out? DA doesn't seem the sort who would mishandle his watch. given rolex's reputation, i am both surprised and concerned...

[seiko.citizen]

dunno about rsc, or any watchmaker in sg, but my AD fix for me foc

[Darkangel]

Thanks for the tips Sheldon!

There is a gasket in the case tube. As long as the winding stem is in place, there is not the risk of dust. Nonetheless, good idea to keep in a plastic bag.

The watchmaker will probably remove the caseback, remove the stem, re-attach the crown, then reinstall. Be sure that if the watchmaker does remove the caseback, be sure to have the watch pressure tested....

its like shaking someone's hand and suddenly the hand drop off while you are holding it

rem the case where the sec and the boss were having a romp and the sec bit that part out? I think she in more shock then the guy. DA should understand how she feels

I know how you feel... it is like taking an organ out from a body.... very scary...

Totally!

it happened to my oysterdate 6466 before while winding the whole thing just came out, was very worried at that time. Look for my friend the next day and he took less then 10 mins to fix it, repair cost FOC.

Oh I see...

[exxondus]

Sorry to hear about that bro... But think can be solved... If outside cannot repair maybe can go RSC?

Serious lor! When you pull the crown out and you pull the whole thing out it's big issue

[Darkangel]

I thought what had happened, my heart really pumping....small issue, no worries bro...you can go to JL Watch in Chinatown look for Joe Lai @ 97342636 he can settle right away...don't think it will cost much.

wah how to sty when your mind keep thinking and worrying that dust, etc might enter the movement via the crown opening??

better stuff something there to prevent particles from gg in.

Oh no worries about that. Already locked it up in my watch box and use a scotch tape to tape the box up so that it's alittle air tight.

[SamGMT]

I was gonna adjust the time for my datejust and when I unscrewed and crown and pulled the crown out...the whole crown came out!





HOW!
