Rolex

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.

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!

Fantastic post, fantastic pictures !

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.

Thanks for sharing....

Cheers

...as usual, Jocke..

Is any sealant (Loctite, etc) added to the crown tube threads before insertion?

The surfaces will keep the watch dry inside.

Another stupid question, then. Do you know what thread form is used on the crown tube? There must be some sort of interference fit?

That is just great!

Some men work on their cars. But only a few men work on their own watches!

is the watch still waterresistent?

and what a surgeon you are.

Thank you.

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 on something so small)

So all in all did you saved my Monday

Well done Jocke. Looking forward to your next tutorial. An idea could be bezel change..

Cheers
