Help! My rolex crown wont unscrew after I dropped it.

[Explorer Reporting]

I dropped my rolex on the floor yesterday, it was a fairly hard drop, about 1m high to marble floor. Now my crown won't unscrew and I'm worried. Can anyone explain why? Thank you.

I suggest bringing it to RSC for a check... Or Top Hour at lucky plaza if u afraid of high repairing cost at RSC...

Thank you bro. It still runs perfectly but I don't know why can't unscrew.

[newbie09]

I suggest u not try to unscrew it, as it might do more damage then good... Sometimes certain things is better leaving it to the pro...

Sorry to hear that. If it's unable to be screwed, don't force it. It may make matters worse. Since it's dropped and damaged, better send to RSC for servicing. Sometimes, you have to pay to get things fixed.

I guess the crown may have landed on the ground first and "locked" it with the watch.

Send for servicing.

Update : went down to a reputable watch repair shop. He said the crown and the "stem" on the crown need to be changed. Cost $70 for everything, but the crown is 2nd handed when he changed for me, not in mint looking condition, but works perfectly.

Overall am satisfied that my watch is fixed. But the crown looks quiet rugged.

Guess you have a choice to replace with a used crown or send it to RSC. But i consider $70 reasonable. You can enjoy your watch again.

Lucky only the winding stem and the crown and only $70. Glad your watch is back to normal.

Glad to hear it got repaired... U can alway change the crown again at RSC if you find it unsightly.
