: I was setting the time on my 2551.80 Seamaster
: Pro 300M when the crown came off in my hand!
: There doesn't seem to be any mechanism for
: screwing it back on, just a small rubber
: O-ring on the inside of the crown itself,
: which doesn't hold it securely.
: It doesn't screw down or (obviously) pull out
: to set the time. Is this a known problem, or
: is it a warranty job?
Stuart,
I think that the crown is supposed to be held in place via a tiny screw inside the movement. Omega obviously didn't tighten it enough. There actually was another similar post about this exact sitauation (albeit with a 2254.50 the black diver SMP, I've included the link below).
I've also read from various sources that the crown stem of the cal.1120 is a little on the weak side too..... But there has not been many complaints about any problems about the 1120 though. It has proven to be a reliable movement.
Oh, and yes, this should be covered by warranty.....
