Datejust movement screws very tight.
I am removing the datejust 16013 movement to repolish the case. I have removed the bezel(very easy) and the crown(even easier). But i am now stuck in that i cannot undoe the two screws that hold the movement in place. They are just too tight. Any ideas?

Once they're down, the movement will sit loosely in the case, and then after you remove the stem, the whole movement will turn so you can line up the screw with the opening at the case tube, and you can turn over the case slowly, so the movement falls out.

Thanks for the help. Yes they do wind down to loosen as you say. I took out the movement, removed the tube and will replace the tube and gasket, and the gasket in the crown. Do you know what size gasket goes in the 6mm crown?

I get gaskets by party numbers, not size... I honestly don't know the exact measurements. Sorry.

Vanessa-(or anyone really) is there a cross reference chart of actual size of the o rings? The rest of the world uses ID and cross section but I can't work out the Rolex numbering system.
I play with old watches and generic case seals use the Rolex numbers a lot. I'm sure some would work/fit other cases. Anyway, if anyone has something, I'd appreciate it! |

Hi Vanessa, do you know what tube thread size is in the case on a 16013 Datejust? I think it is 2.5mm x 0.25mm? I was going to clean the threads of polishing compound etc before fitting the new tube.

Again, I know parts by part numbers, not size. I don't have time to go and measure every thing so I can help out people who have no parts account or official Rolex training.

Before I clicked on the ROFL smiley, I had a whole different reply... Then I decided I should sound more civilized

Oh dear there are some very precious people about.
If your response of - "Again, I know parts by part numbers, not size. I don't have time to go and measure every thing so I can help out people who have no parts account or official Rolex training" To my simple question of - "Hi Vanessa, do you know what tube thread size is in the case on a 16013 Datejust? I think it is 2.5mm x 0.25mm? I was going to clean the threads of polishing compound etc before fitting the new tube" Is reasonable response, then I am afraid you obviously live in a whole different world to me. But then again, I am English, and you are an American. |

It was your second question of the same thing in a row, you got your answer the first time.
Ask a stupid question and you get a stupid answer, I'm sure that is true for both USA and UK. |

I'm Belgian born and raised, and English is my fourth language before Spanish. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your question.

Furbo.
If you were to actually read the posts above you would see that the two questions were - 1.Do you know the size of the gasket in a 6mm crown. 2. Do you know the the tube thread size in the case of a 16013 Datejust. Furbo. Please try to keep up. Lol |

Furbo.
Just out of interest. Do you know the size of the tube case thread for a 16013 Datejust. If the question is really that stupid, you surely must know the answer. I wont hold my breath for your answer. |

You sir are disrespectful and condescending in my opinion and if I were Vanessa I would not give you the time of day (no pun intended) or an answer to any of your questions. Wanker.

I have read the rule and i guess you are referring to the "no personal attacks" part.
If you were to read all posts you would see that i have not made any personal attacks on anyone. Whereas I have been referred to as P.I.T.A by Sublover2166, told I was asking stupid questions by Furbo, and called a Wanker by Sublover2166. All for asking two simple and valid questions. This forum has issues. |
