I have a 5513 caseback with inside thread issue and I need some Repair recommendations for the US. I talked to Rolliworks but they are closed until April now because of the move. I could send it to Michael Young but I'd prefer to use someone locally here in the US. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have seen some work by Bob Ridley at Watchmakers in Texas to address this issue.

I have also seen where he has machined a new "plug" that is pressed into place and threaded to save an original case another life, rather than replacement.

Give him a call and he will give you suggestions too.

Concur. LAWW fixed this for me about a year ago. They said they deal with caseback threading issues this all the time.
