I hadn’t wore it in a few days so had to reset the time however when pulling the crown out to adjust the crown has just came all the way out of the watch. The watch is still running but I have tried putting the crown back in but will not adjust date time or anything now.

Is this something you could be fixed easily enough?

Keyless works needs to be reset. Movement has to come out, hands and dial removed. After that, its about a 10 min job. It should be done by someone familiar with the task.

Took it into Timpsons who has basically said it’s knackered !

He asked if it was a copy and then told because you can’t get parts that there is no way to fix.

Surely there must be a solution ?

You're going to take the advice of someone with less watch knowledge than you ?

You've been told what needs to be done - the keyless works need to be reset - by someone who knows how to do it - not by a fucking keycutter.

When my car breaks down, I take it to an appliance repair center. They are always so reliable and spot on with diagnosis !
