I noticed the threads on the tube is a little wear out.
So I have to check what I've got in my drawer.
I guess those will fits.
So I have to pull out some tools.
Put the watch in the case holder.
Open it up.
No ETA inside. LOL
So I start with the crown.
There we go.
Next will be the movement.
Luminova servicedial with SWISS-T<25.
The tube tool.
Now it's out from the case.
The new tube is in place.
The o-ring is in place.
I will use the old axle.
Here it is in place.
Testing, testing.
The movement in place.
A new fresh o-ring.
Nice with fresh threads.
And the coronet.
I hope you enjoy the tour.
