Omega Seamaster-Crown not locking

[Emily's dad]

Bit of help and advice please.
I can't get the winding/time setting crown to lock on my Seamaster.
There is no issue with winding or time setting just the final push and lock.
A bit of looking around on line seems to suggest that the threads may be stripped.
Anyone have any idea what this is likely to cost to get put right if you've had similar issues with your watch?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks I'll give that a go, if it doesn't work I'll have to get it looked at.

Just an update:
£81 to replace the crown, pressure test and ultrasonic clean of the bracelet from Watchdoctors in Tring.

What do you know, 8 years on and I can’t get the crown to screw in again.

I bet it’s more than £81 this time around.

You must be hard on them

That must be the reason.

Take absolutely no care at all of the most expensive watch I’ve ever owned.

First one lasted from 2001 until 2016, but the replacement “only” 8 years.

Thanks, it must be me being hamfisted.
