Tag Heuer Crown and Tube replacement


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1  
    • Hi, I’m constantly asking my wife to help me with removing the stem in order to complete casing. To expand, this is not a challenge for me when the setting lever is secured by a screw (older calibers). However when the setting lever is attached to a spring loaded setting lever axel, like on more modern calibers, I simply don’t see how to apply enough pressure on the button to get the stem out short of putting the movement face down with the dial and hands attached, which I’m loath to do in order to avoid damaging the dial/hands? what technique should I be using? thanks  
    • Many thanks for your advice (being borne in mind at present) & offer Dell. When I was given the clock the plastic anchor was loose on the arbour (it had split at the 'hole') &, after repairing this, I have been trying to determine whether the spindle (pin) should be perpendicular when the pallet is sitting on a flat surface; or whether, when installed, its L-R extremes (or alternatively its tick & tock points) should lie at equal angles from the vertical when moved with spring absent. I can get the clock to run but in every such configuration the top block has to be turned anti-clockwise (from above) by quite a bit in order to be 'in beat' & it always runs fast (despite the pendulum being set to as slow as possible). This makes me wonder if there is any particular feature of/fault in a torsion spring clock which determines which turn direction (if any) is necessary to get it 'in beat'; & whether there would be a different set of settings that would get it running nearer to time at somewhere around the mid timing/inertia position which would then allow tweaking of the fast/slow setting.
    • Now this has happened I bet China or India just to name two will start to produce none genuine parts.  I did. But idiot Boris Johnson failed miserably in his negotiations. The E U stitched up the UK like a kipper. Nigel Farage  offered his help but big head Boris declined. So this is why we are in this mess all because Johnson wasn't clever enough.
