Broken tube inside case removal, how to?

[chriz74]

Hi guys, I need your help again.  I messed up with this watch. It's a clone, I got a tube / crown it was said to be correct for that but screwing in was hard and it finally broke inside the case.

Now I don't know how to remove it without extending the damage. The tube doesn't have a spline inside and it's probably pretty stuck as as I said it was pretty hard to screw in.

Any advice? I don't have round files, I have a dremel with some heads... I saw the proper tool for removal but it's for internal splined tubes.

Use a round file to gently wear it away, try to even use the file to remove the broken tube, turning it anti-clockwise.

Do you think this will do?

The best way is to use a clock brooch.

• brooch or drill.    it would be good to know how it was originally installed.  the new one should be silver soldered in.  vinn
