I noticed the threads on the tube is a little wear out. So I have to check what I've got in my drawer. I guess those will fits. So I have to pull out some tools. Put the watch in the case holder. Open it up. No ETA inside. LOL So I start with the crown. There we go. Next will be the movement. Lumino
