: I've got an early 60's Seamaster 300. I've had
: the movement overhauled by my watchmaker but
: the crown is always coming loose...
That shouldn't happen.
: I think
: this has to do with me wearing the watch
: loose around my wrist (and always rubbing on
: the back of my hand) and the crown is not of
: the screw down type.
I highly doubt that is the SOURCE of the problem. Certainly, if the crown and stem are not attached to the watch correctly, then it rubbing would make the problem obvious. But that is only a symptom of the real problem.
: possible to install a screw down tube/crown
: in a non screw down case?
Why? 90% of watches don't have that feature and work fine. I think you are looking in totally the wrong direction for a solution.
Sounds like the lever that holds the crown and stem in place into the movement is not locking into place. Just send it in and have that fixed.
