Hello all,

Got this Tag Heuer Sel WG1210-KO from my friend, but the crown and tube were completely rusted.  Managed to pull out the crown and tube but they both need a replacement.  The tube was completely rusted, hence can't really take any measurement, may I know what is the right size of both crown and tube?  I found from Cousin UK, it seems the crown is 5.25mm diameter and 4mm depth, but not sure which tube size should I order.   Please help.

Thanks

I did remove both Stem and tube, but as you said, the tube and crown thread was completely rusted hence couldn't measure its size.  Yes, the movement is ETA955.  I got a new stem already, but need to order a right size tube and crown.  Just don't know the size of the tube.

I'm checking on an SEL I have stripped here. The crown is 5.25 mm with what looks like either a 2.1 or 2.2 threaded inner tube, Cousins part number looks like C8612

For the tube, It's 2.6 OD and 7mm long. I can't be sure if it's ID is 2.1 or 2.2mm as that's the threaded part. I'm leaning towards 2.1mm so Cousins part number should be C8623. I would suggest you buy a 2.1 and 2.2 ID tube to be safe.

Thank you so much gbyleveldt for your advice and information.  I checked from Cousins, the ID2.2mm one says for Crown 5.5mm which I think may not be right for crown 5.25mm.  I think I will go for C8623 although its 6.9mm long which is for screw down crown as per Cousins.   Thanks you.

      Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.    Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.  Same answer as Mike regarding the dial, its often just a slapped on name of a retailer but i thought you were way above this understanding Pete ?

      Light naptha is what you need to be looking for. The carbon to hydrogen ratio is high with heavy naptha, it doesn't evaporate as well as light naptha and is prone to leaving more residue. Try tom's suggestion of the mirror test.

      Its a big item Michael and a lot that could go wrong with the process of getting it to its new location. I once helped install one of these units into a conservatory that i had built. It was big and bloody heavy and took six of us to get it in safely. If you have sliding doors and you need to remove the whole frame then that may or may not go well. But i would advise getting a professional in if you have little knowledge on the installation of them. The glazing of the doors could well be 6mm laminated glass which again will be heavy very heavy if the glazing units are big. The glass would also need to be set up and packed correctly to open the doors properly more so if they are unframed and the sliders are upvc. Seems a shame but if no one is biting and that may be due to having no warranty i guess the only takers might be someone that installs them for a living and knows how to repair. If its fibreglass just be careful, i sometimes have to cut fibreglass baths out and they are nasty to work with . Thick gloves are definitely recommended,  not fun picking out fibreglass spells two days later that have started to go septic. Good luck with it all matey.

      I don’t know anything about this product, however assuming you have it if you put a drop on a mirror or piece of glass lying flat on a table and leave it to evaporate if it leaves any sort of residue it is not really suitable for watch part cleaning.   Tom

      Well I put the spa on Gumtree (selling service) to try and sell it as it only needs a recirc pump to get it going. However, it weighs circa 250kg, so there's 4 fairly strong guys, and I would have to remove the sliding door in the room completely to be able to get it out, as well as clearing out a multitude of potted plants and the Alfresco outdoor setting to be able to get it out. Then move nearly everything in the back of the garage to be able to push it through to the front of the house. I would also need to hire furniture skates to be able to shift it around as carrying it is out of the question. Then someone would need a trailer to get it to their place as you won't get it on the back of a ute. So, the only answer is, out with the reciprocating saw and cut it all up into manageable pieces. Crying shame as it is in really good nick. I was only asking $1,500 and only got two bites, but it would only take something to go wrong with removing the sliding door etc that everything I make on the sale could go out the door on repairs etc. It would have been nice to be able to turn it into tools etc, but que sera sera. I don't know about the rest of the world, but there just seems to be very little interest from people wanting to buy things secondhand.
