Hi guys,

so last night I was timing some pasta with my RO chrono, when I suddenly noticed the reset pusher felt a bit loose.

I inspected it, and noticed that it was indeed very loose. Trying to screw the lock back in, the pusher fell off!

I was lucky it fell off on the kitchen table, and not on the road somewhere, as it's the WG model.

Well anyway, I noticed the pusher seems to be fastened by "force", and I pusher it back in and it said "snap", and now it looks like it's secure again.

Has this happened to any of you? Could it be over tightening of the lock screw pushing the push-buttons out of their "sockets"?

It does seem secure now, and the little spring was intact, and I could see any sort of damage, but this thing did freak me out a bit... Would have been pretty expensive to loose the push-button.

Sorry to hear buddy.

It's obviously not built as well as a Rolex.

Yikes! Glad you didn't lose the piece.
I'd have it checked out to be on the safe side.

Definitely have it checked out.

So when can I expect you over?

I'm taking off on a Europe road trip next week but as soon as I'm back I'll pop over.

Don't think they're as tough as we think...

If that happened to me I would have a heart attack. Glad you found the pusher.

Have it checked, just to be sure you don't have to worry about it anymore !
I like the thought of you using the chrono to cook! Watches are made to be used.

AP weakness. Crown / pushers.

Pretty much what my AP looked like. It seems fine now though, I'll have it checked out at some point.

I might have too... But thankfully I had half a bottle of wine in my blood when it happened.
