Beautiful Daytona you have.

18K gold is soft so it’s pretty easy to strip those threads I’m afraid.

How old it this reference? This is so bad for Rolex anyways.

worldofoyster · 19 January 2020, 07:08 AM

interesting, never seen this before. wonder what's the fix

reddog4063 · 19 January 2020, 07:50 AM

There is a retaining spring that holds it in place, normally you need to compress it halfway to remove it. No idea how it got loose without doing that. If you put it back in it will probably click back in but you probably want to make sure it wont come out again. Send it to rsc

Strange! Your watch looks like a safe queen.

I definitely wouldn’t

Gently pushing it in while rotating clockwise slightly would be my advice. If it doesn’t stay in after that then I would suspect there has been a breakage.

GradyPhilpott · 20 January 2020, 05:04 AM

That happened to my Timex Marlin.

I sent it back in for warranty repair.

huncho · 20 January 2020, 05:10 AM

if you drop it off in the city it might be a bit quicker

at least you have some great watches to wear in the mean time lol

The replicas tend to do that......

That watch doesn't look like it's been used much!

Danny83 · 20 January 2020, 04:29 PM

I would take it to a really good watchmaker instead of RSC it can be fixed same day

Singslinger · 20 January 2020, 04:37 PM

This happened with a Tudor Sub that I once owned, a few months after buying it brand new.

Pushed the crown back in, it then worked perfectly for a coupla more years, then I sold it.

strettyend · 29 January 2020, 03:19 AM

Update - dropped it off at RSC NY and they will be doing a full service. Sounds like 4+ weeks hopefully sooner!

strettyend · 20 February 2020, 12:11 PM

Glad to have it back after 3 weeks!

gracian · 20 February 2020, 12:33 PM

Nice happy ending! That’s a great looking watch. Enjoy!

Geckobros · 20 February 2020, 12:47 PM

3 weeks, not too bad. Glad you have your watch back.
