5513 water test failed

Today I pressure tested my 5513 (~81) and it failed, the AD said that the leak was around the crown of the watch. He said that they would ship the watch to their service place and call me in 1-2weeks about the price and if its possible to fix the leak (It should be possible right?) he said that they might need to replace the crown.

The strange thing is that I pressure tested it in a non-AD(that have a good reputation) and they said it was tight up to 5 bars. Then I changed the plexi at another place and everything was fine I guess because they didn't say nothing was wrong(I assume they pressure test all the watches when they change the crystal/plexi?)

The owner of the watch said that he got it tested up to 200m without any problems.

Has anyone had similar problems?, any clue how much it costs to replace the crown on a 5513 roughly?
