Friction tight screw down pendant tube.

[Hiren]

I've come across a screw down pendant tube that has lost it's tightness within the case. As you tighten the crown it starts to pull the tube out.

Curious to know how other repairers go about fixing this. Do you araldite/glue them in or just go for a new tube? The threads are in excellent condition.

 

Thanks for your input.

If it’s just unthreading it’s self and everything is in good condition then use Loctite thread lock as alternative to a new tube.  Pictures of the watch and movement may be of some help should you wish to replace the tube.

Araldite did the job. Made sure there was plenty around the tube. After everything dried I did a pressure test and it passed 100m so happy days.
