Superocean screw down crown


Recommended Posts

Hi all

My Superoceans crown only screws down about a half turn from when it catches till when it is tight. Is this correct? Feels like it should screw down further.

if it isn't right, any advice on sorting it out?

thanks

Take a Magnified look at the Case Tube threads and verify if they are in good order first, There may be crud built up in the crown or surrounding area. Check the crown itself for proper threads and cleanliness. Post pics and report back.

Remove the stem, and inspect, and clean the threads of both the tube, and crown, I have had instances where some crap has built up overtime, and bedded in the recess of the crown causing the symptoms you are experiencing.

If that so you will need to take the movement out of the case. A good way of cleaning inside threads is use peg wood you will get a thread on the wood but just shave it off with a pocket knife and repeat until clean. All the above advice about the button and stem also should be undertaken that way you will have a good fit as if it were new.
