Recommended repair for vintage Sub 300T Professional?
I'm the original owner of a 1967 Sub 300T Professional, US Divers, Beads of Rice band. The screw down crown's threads are stripped and need repair. There is a slight scratch in the crystal and also minor case wear marks that could be buffed (if advisable).
Do you have any recommendations for the repair job? (I understand that Jack @ IWW isn't accepting new jobs)
FWIW - I haven't worn the watch in decades and want to get it ready to sell.
TIA

BTW - prior to doing anything, you may want to contact Mike Cook. He may buy it untouched.

It’s Mike’s username here. Send him a PM as he may be interested in your watch. He’s our resident Doxaholic.
BTW, we have a sense of community around here, so if you plan to be a part of it you should drop into the main forum and do a thread where you introduce yourself and tell us a little about you.
Because we are a community many of us find it off putting when folks just drop by for help and then leave.

I want to see this original-owner Sub. I bet it looks great and doesn’t need anything cosmetic.

Will do later today (though you'll find that my "diving" is now only very occasional snorkeling on vacation).hoppyjr wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:38 pmIt’s Mike’s username here. Send him a PM as he may be interested in your watch. He’s our resident Doxaholic.

Re: Recommended repair for vintage Sub 300T Professional?
Chores are done and I made my forum introduction, so here is the watch (excuse the picture quality). I provided a few different views so that you could see its condition (screw down crown not working, minor crystal scratches, some case scratches).
FWIW - There are two serial numbers on the case back (11899-4 over 6753347). There is also a number near where the band attaches (144 47) (?) with what appears to be script below. Perhaps this was done by "House of Time" in the late 70s when they did a less than stellar fix on the screw down crown?

Too bad they swapped the crown. They are scarce as hens teeth! I sent you a PM if you are interested in selling

Hi Guys, Jack@iww posting maybe for the first >
time here!
IWW is back in full swing and I'm feeling great for the past 8 months or so. I appreciate the community's patience and support during what turned out to be a rather lengthy recovery.
Good luck watch hunting to all.
B/R,
Jack

Nice pick up Mike. Curious as to what you are going to do with it? Find a new compatible crown?

My watchmaker converted it to a non screw down crown. Easy peasy

That's great news, Jack. Happy to hear that you're feeling better and back in action. The watch community has missed you.
Re: Recommended repair for vintage Sub 300T Professional?
I second that!
