Guys need your advice on what you think the issue is. I moved the crown to the adjust the time and it will not pop back in the winding position. Is this an expensive fix?

since it's an A6497, the screw holding the stem might have gotten loose. If that's the case, then it's an easy fix.

pull it back to time setting position and screw in the stem holding screw. You need small, sharp flat screwdriver to do it. Had the same problem.

Thanks for your reply guys. I'll try that and see what happens. Worse case I can take it my watch smith if that doesn't work.

Nice tip Polonus. That shoudl do it. I wish every movement was as easy to work on as the A6487. No chance you could make this kind of adjustment on an A7750 without removing tons of crap.

Is this the same movement in the 111's?
