I guess a visit to the RSC is in order?

ersnyder · 13 July 2010, 01:14 AM

Ouch!

Rolesor · 13 July 2010, 01:14 AM

Sorry to hear that! How is she doing??

Idle Swede · 13 July 2010, 01:15 AM

Without a picture it never happened.

kel · 13 July 2010, 01:24 AM

Well, this is how it happened but to the naked eye there would apear to be nothing wrong......

Whilst giving the old turn 0 graph a wind, was going to give it a day on the wrist, I managed to drop it and sods law says it WILL fall crown first and it did.

It still works, it still winds, still changes date but the crown is loose when out and just doesn't feel right when screwing back in.....

Its now in HACK mode, in it's box awaiting inspection....

Rolesor · 13 July 2010, 01:26 AM

Wishing her a speedy recovery!

Myself would just screw the crown back in and just let movement stop.Then try a re-wind if crown still feel like you say loose get it looked at. Its possible its just the winding stem screw just wants re-tightening a simple fix.

Shade · 13 July 2010, 02:14 AM

Ouch indeed my friend, I hope it gets well soon yahh..

acce1999 · 13 July 2010, 02:20 AM

The crown shouldn't be completely stiff, it should be slightly loose when out, but since it landed on the crown it is well worth having it checked out. Most likely your feeling is correct.

Sorry to hear about this. Good luck having it checked!

Best,

A

kel · 13 July 2010, 07:03 AM

How can i explain the "loose crown".... crown should pull out, push in, rotate clockwise & anticlockwise. Not anymore... does all that but also now moves in all other directions. Imagine your finger on a marble, you can move it anywhere.... This is the crown but obviously on a much smaller scale....

Chipmunk · 13 July 2010, 07:09 AM

Sorry to hear about that.......hope it wont be costly.

swissautopro · 13 July 2010, 07:41 AM

You live, you learn, you pay the RSC. In all seriousness, sorry to hear it. Hopefully the fix won't be too costly, and they can turn it around quickly.

Today I will say goodbye to my friend.... My 16253..... She is going off to the doctors via the AD....

I could do with an opinion though guys.....

Obviously off for a service and repair of what ever is broken. But I was wondering.... The dial and hands show some wear.... but not in a way to be a worry.... But thinking about giving an old girl a new lease of life.... New dial, new hands??????? = new lume, a fresh "new look".....

Is a new dial/hands etc on an 85 watch a bit overkill?

Thoughts, opinions apreciated!!!!

Give her the full treatment! She deserves it and when she gets back I will send you some more butter for your fingers.

kel · 15 July 2010, 09:52 PM

Thankyou Mr. Drawtool.......

I am going to sit on the fence until I have ten opinions...... Then make my decision based on the outcome.....

So far 1 for.... 0 against....

kel · 15 July 2010, 10:38 PM

Heres a pic.

The hands show the lume has degraded. To me, the dial looks..errrm dull

New dial? New hands?
