| Post subject: | Early Chronomat bezel screws coming loose |
Hello all, I just joined this forum and this is my first posting. I very recently purchased an A13047 Chronomat and i love it. As I was cleaning the bezel, two of the small domed screws (not the rider tabs screws) came loose. I was not able to put them back in pace, since they do not have a real thread. These appears to be different from the other Chronomat bezel screws I have seen in pictures. Can any tell me how these screws are secured to the bezel. Cheers from California. |

The threads are probably stripped on the screws, there are threads on the bezel also that when tightened in push the wire that's inside the bezel to tighten it to the watch, I have taken mine off my super avengers and other watches many times, hopefully the bezel threading is not stripped, check an authorized dealer to get new screws. Good luck |

Thank you very much, Watch Nut. I went to the local authorized service center and was told that, on this model (A13047), the screws are just "plugged" on to the bezel and not screwed. They suggested that I glued them back using Loctite. I had a close look and indeed these are not "real screws". They are very short and have no thread whatsoever. I proceeded as advised and all is good now. |
