Congrats Michael! I'm inspired. My OGII had the screw-down crown strip out, and it seems to be the stem threads instead of the case threads. I have another OGII which I don't wear as much, and I might have to attempt to swap out stems. I'm not sure if it's worth it to send it in for the $50 I paid for it long ago. Have to figure out if the risk is worth the possible reward. I also don't have any watch tools, so I suppose by the time I got the stuff I needed, and took the chance of voiding my warranty in case something serious happens, I'm probably just as well sending it in, and taking ANOTHER chance w/ Infecta's repair service.

We'll have to see. But I'm still impressed :cool:

Thanks David. In your case, I would send it back to Invicta. If you have no tools, it would be the best thing to do. From what I understand, Sterling Time is now doing Invicta service so you have a better chance of getting the watch repaired correctly. Also, for the watch you have you would need a special case back tool to open the watch up. And, you would need to replace the O-ring (maybe) if it is old for water resistance. Best let Sterling Time do it unless you are wanting to invest in some tools, etc.
