How to kill a boring Saturday...............
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.
Luminova servicedial with SWISS-T<25.
The tube tool.
Now it's out from the case.
The new tube is in place.
The o-ring is in place.
I will use the old axle.
Here it is in place.
Testing, testing.
The movement in place.
A new fresh o-ring.
Nice with fresh threads.
And the coronet.
I hope you enjoy the tour.
Jocke

I love these posts of yours, Jocke.
Great to see how you do to change the parts of your watch. Thanks for the tour. Best, Nicolas
Fantastic post, Jocke!
I love these behind-the-scenes photo essays about our watches. You are so handy! I like that you can service your watch yourself. It's a very handsome timepiece to boot! Thanks for the wonderful post! Cheers, Daos
Thanks for showing us...
...the features of the Oyster case and what's "behind the curtain". Fantastic post, fantastic pictures ! Cheers Jeff
SOUNDS SIMPLE
You make it look so simple, but I am not sure that I my self would give it a try. definitly makes for a more interesting saterday. Best regards, George
love this post with superb pictorial tutorial...
Jocke, i have never seen such nice post of step-by-step pictorial tutorial of changing parts of a watch. it really makes me feel interesting learning from your post. thanks very much and excellent pics as usual. stefan
Fantastic...
I've always been worried about damaging the screw in crown but now I know it's an easy replacement I feel a lot happier about it...:o) Thanks so much for this Jocke....great pics again. Yours, Andy.
Great photos...(plus a question)
...as usual, Jocke.. Is any sealant (Loctite, etc) added to the crown tube threads before insertion?
Thanks, Jocke.
Another stupid question, then. Do you know what thread form is used on the crown tube? There must be some sort of interference fit?
Cool DIY. My Sunday has been made much more interesting thanks to you...
That is just great! Some men work on their cars. But only a few men work on their own watches!

I enjoyed: -the tour -the awesome pictures (as usual from your hand) -the respect to details from your hand -the idear of the tour -the way you make it look so easy (and it is, if you know how, have the correct tool, parts and the eyes and hands to work o...
Superb
What a super guide to doing a job well, with the correct tools. Once you learn and know how to do something like this the right way yourself, there's little chance you will ever be happy leaving the same job to someone else to do.
"A(nother) view to a kill"
Hi Jocke, I simply had to think of that Bond title when reading and watching your gorgeous post. Really striking is the the almost immacculate condition of the movement in an obviously older Rolex. Your operation was marvellously illustrated and performed...
