MM repair

[Jhud]

I looked at my MM first thing this morning. The knob on the side is missing and it’s wet inside.
It must have gotten broke and also wet when I was swimming yesterday.

Where can I get a MM repaired ?

Do you mean the crown came unscrewed? If so, you may have dificulty finding a replacement.

As for the water damage, it may well dry out itself over several days or you could get a jeweller to disassemble it.

If the movement is beyond saving, the model you are looking for is a Ronda 5040b 'big date'.
There are several on eBay that even have the correct date wheel.

It’s still working so the inside is fine. It’s been wet like 12 hours or less

It’s the crown

I need to get another style besides MM. the hollow point and FMJ look neat

@zwc0442 he might have more context on what crowns might fit.
keep in mind, it has to work with the size of the stem.

i think the hollowpoint crown is too big, but Zach would know better

otherwise you would have to go aftermarket

I meant new watch al together.


Yeah. I’d buy an aftermarket crown for sure just to keep this one running.

I have 3 MMS. Black red and sliver faces.
Just this red one broke.
