Damaged the crown

[Shiftface]

Hi!

I managed to lose my new trident in the ground pretty badly. This made a big scrach on the crown. I have only had the watch for a short while. Do any of you know if its possible to replase the crown and if its very expencive?

Thank you!

Touch wood I've only damaged the crown on 1 watch when it got pulled off the stem that goes into the body of the watch. This was an expensive repair as the crown and stem had to be replaced.

It might be different with the CW watches and maybe even differ from 1 model to another but I don't know. If nobody here is able to help then maybe photograph it as best as possible from a couple of angles and send them on an email to CW Customer Services for comment.

What he says.
The crown stem for an ETA or Sellita movement are only a few pounds each, and I don’t expect an individual crown costs much more for the manufacturer to make. However, it is accessing the crown stem, fitting it correctly, replacement of seals and pressure testing the watch again that takes both time, skill and the right equipment.
CW Customer Services would be my first port of call that’s a definite

Contacting CW is your best course of action as that is the only place you will get an oem crown. Hopefully there is no internal damage and that is all that the crown/stem is all that needs to be replaced.

CW will give you an estimate prior to repair.
