Finding The Right Case Tube

[oarieder]

As a follow-up to my earlier resolved question:  http://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/2698-waterproof-a-flush-post-crown/

 

I have a Victorinox Officer's 1884 which needs a new case tube.  After removal, my digital caliper indicates that I need a:

 

2.5 mm outer diameter crown shoulder

1.8 mm outer diameter case shoulder (for case opening)

1.55 mm inner diameter opening

 

The closest I can find is:

2.5 mm outer diameter crown shoulder

1.9 mm outer diameter case shoulder

1.55 mm inner diameter

 

 

In your experience, can I make this fit into the case without grief? I'd hate to have to send this thing in for a measly 0.1mm!

 

Thank everyone,

You should be fine with that one Adam. You can always polish it down slightly with 800 grit wet or dry if required.

You could also broach the case out a little if it is to tight , i use a dab of loctite threadlock on the pendant tube just for added peace of mind

On order. I like the sanding idea, and in any event I'll use the Loctite as well. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice.
