Ferrari Panerai watch screw out crown came off

[clinterik]

I went to unscrew the crown and it just came off in my hand... Does anybody know how to fix this, or were I can get parts or is there some one on here that I can ship it to that could fix it?

Thanks for the help, Clint

Does the crown include the stem? If yes, you may want to open up the caseback and install it again. If it's the crown only, you need to check if the crown is damaged. If not, you need a pin vice and a little bit of epoxy to reinstall the crown to the stem.

What model is it, and where is the stem?

 

[takashi]

The stem looks like a threaded rod which bridges the crown with the movement.

the crown does not include the stem!! I have pictures of it but i don't know how to upload them?

use imageshack, photobucket, etc, to host your pictures...

Doesn't sound that serious if the stem is still in there, you didn't fubar the keyless works which is good. Find someone local to you that can remove it, get a new stem (and possibly a crown unless the old stem can be extracted), then reinstall and you're back in business.

ive had this happen to a panerai. it just unthreaded itself. there isn't really lots of thread that actually goes into the crown. it may just need to be put back in. use a bit of loctite blue on the thread too...
