Hello!

Bought this watch a while ago. Don’tknow factory details or type of rep. But it still works mechanically!

But the crown wont screw back in. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If the crown is not threading on the tube the crown or the tube threads are shot and either or both will need to be replaced.

If the crown is threading but it and the stem come off when it it is unscrewed, your keyless works need to be reset. This requires removal of the hands and dial.

I don't see very well in your picture but it seems there is a problem with your crown tube

Yes it's possible to fix. Finding suitable parts may be a challenge. It looks like a lower end rep with a DG2813 type movement. So, often the tube needs to be removed and measured accurately to find the right size replacement. Or the crown can be removed and the inside threads examined to see if they are bad. The crown would be an easier fix, but finding one with the right threads and barrel size for the tube might not be easy since the factory is unknown. I have a couple extra GMT crowns and can tell you that fit is not always interchangeable among rep cases at all.

Often the best solution is to buy a matched tube and crown set and have them installed together. You are probably looking at about $20 parts and $25 labor.

There are some sets here you can look at

Your crown should be 7mm so the first one should work. The coronet might not be as nice as yours.
