This was amazing but yet very practical, thanks. I purchased my wife a quartz pocket watch ($120) for her 70th birthday. 16 days after the return window on Amazon closed, the crown stem broke. Now at least I know how to remove the broken stem. Finding a replacement stem will be my next adventure.

The last example with a crown that is flat without a way to cut a screw slot, and you don't have a lathe machine (like me) I immediately thought of the smallest drill bit on my Dremel tool that is micro small could work also to remove some material. This part of the series was, once again, extremely helpful. Thank you so much.

Thank you for a complete and coherent explanation!

Great job ..there's always something to learn, thank you indeed!!!:)))

Super helpful....I broke a stem about flush in my wife's Michael Kors MK2521 watch, Was looking for a new MK crown (so far no luck)....but with these tips I might be able to get the stem out. now where do I get a screw slot file ?

Very helpful thank you for your help. I don’t know why you you have to use anything at all. Even bonding agents were not used 50 yrs ago. Again thank you. Your videos are very informative and educational

This is a great video!!!👍👍👍

I did try it on Vintage Fortis watch crown, and worked perfectly. You don't need drill, lathe or even pin vice.

as a last resort you could solder a nail or similar to the remains of the stem with a dial feet soldering machine

I was trying to adjust date and time of my Tag Heuer Calibre 5 and the crown and stem just hopped out. When I tried to put it back, neither date nor time would be adjusted. Has something broke?

I bought a Omega seamaster for 200 Dollars but there is crown on it and it's need replacement..Any ideas if it was a good deal or misstake

Thank you for all the tips! 👍 So, what about glue! 😜 Another tip to get rid of a stem, deep in a crown. Might be to get a thin dremel cutting wheel. Work it down to a small diameter. (If necessary) with a dimond wheeldresser. (Used for grinding wheels) Then one might be able to cut a slot in the stem. Hm.. now my brain got to work.. It might be possible to use the bergeon screwremover. Set the tool in the lathe sliding stock. Stem in collet chuck. And handturn the the shuck while gently adding pressure on the tailstock. Cheers for the tips Calle!

We use the vallorbre diamond file and the swedish diamond knife sharpening file the most. (available in kitchen and outdoor stores)

Some people are using Loctite on the stem when attaching the crown. That drives me nuts.

The problem isn’t loctite. The problem is using the incorrect loctite.

Is It a winding stem on the Seiko 7s26? Cause It don't Wind from crown....
