Yeah but he was backed up and the watch was out of warranty. So I contacted Marathon and got a whole crown assembly (they were great to deal with and they actually gave me the whole set for free but normally it is $25). What had happened it seemed is the actual tube had been leaking (maybe bad gasket) and it corroded the stem which eventually broke from all the rust. I found a local watchmaker (1 of the only real watchmakers in town and runs the local NAWCC) who has a amazing bench stock of watch parts. He replaced the watch with a new movement, new gaskets and stem crown assembly for $85. Also pressure tested and cleaned all the rust out of the case which we thought might be an issue since it had been rusting for some time.

Either way I am just glad to get it back so Joe can enjoy it some more.

Oh and not to mention Joe also sent me a really cool watch book!!!! Thanks again Joe.

Yeah, sure Terry's being all cool and going out of his way to help a fellow DWC'er, but Where T F is the black date wheel? Pussies.






Nah, just kidding: the watch looks awesome, and Terry is the very example of "DWC rocks".

Well done!

What a great ending to the story Joe ! Phenomenal job Terry !!!

A terrific job by Terry, and DWC, and then a supercharged brand new watch
basically like you said. Can imagine how happy you are to have this one back
on the wrist again, and also how cool it was that Terry did this. ..Just another
day at the DWC office of awesomeness !

So neat to hear Joe. Keep on enjoying this beauty sir !
