I have a Seamaster Automatic with a 2576 case that has an incorrect crown
on it. I bought the proper NOS clover replacement for it. Can someone give me
instruction on how to swap out the crown?
Thanks John
correct size screwdriver for the screw right to the stem in your pics. press down the driver and unscrew only one turn. keep holding down the screwdriver and the screw and try to get the stem out. wiggle a bit. if still tight, try another half turn. the trick is pushing down the screw with the screwdriver. wiggle a bit more and take stem out . if still tight, try only another half turn. if still stuck, stop and go to a watchmaker. you can not unscrew the screw from the base plate, but it can slip out of the holder. then you have to remove hands and dial and put back in. quite easy, but with all new tasks, you should know, what you do. if unsure = watchmaker. should take a good watchmaker 10 minutes... good luck. kind regards. achim
