2254.50 crown won’t lock down

I felt the crown on my seamaster starting to feel like it was grinding a bit. I wear this watch a few days a week but occasionally i won’t wear it for days and it requires a wind. On my way home yesterday i was adjusting the time and i couldn’t get the crown to lock down. I am taking it to Omega Wednesday . Is this a crown/crown tube type of an issue?

I’m fairly bummed. I enjoy wearing this watch frequently as of late. If it requires a full service, sounds like I’ll be without it for a while.

Threads are better with pics!

Or in this case, pics of threads are better.

What I mean is the threads inside the crown and the tube threads. One or the other may have worn or been stripped over time. Replacing a midcase tube doesn’t require a full service, nor does a new stem/crown either.

Hopefully that’s all you’ll need.

Good to know! That would be great, i wonder if the Watchmaker on staff at the local Omega boutique can handle that job.
