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.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
