Like you released it from the movement and it won't slip back in the keyless, or you pulled it out to set the time and it won't go back in?

What position is it in right now. ie, what happens when you turn the crown? Hands move, date moves, nothing?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

DON'T PRESS TOO HARD!

Face down look at the back.

The depressor is only to release it NOT to put it back in. (I did this the first time and royally screwed up my keyless by jamming it back in.)

Line it up, and while slowly turning the crown back and forth GENTLY push it back in and it will snap back in just like a good Pam CG. :)

If it doesn't you can send it to whoever does your watch work as the keyless is more that likely donkeypunched.

J got pics? you may have fudged the key-less up - easily done....

it may be possible to release the depressor if it's stuck down.... or even repair the key-less (relatively easy fix)....

arh man, I did that once on a 2836, the depressor got stuck pressed down... :facepalm:
a week later I learned how to fix a 2836 keyless by just trying :)

but then, I'd much rater take the hands off a 2836 mwt than a 7750... so getting the dial off a crono watch, for me, would just mean messing up the subdial hands. better think if you really wanna just do it yourself??

Hey SMIDSY, is there a key-less fix tudo somewhere (search didn't help me)?

I can see myselft getting into the same kind of trouble as OP in the future, so a lesson in fixing it would be appreciated :thumbsup:

You guys were very helpful on this and I appreciate the responses. Unfortunatley at this point a trip to the watch maker is necessary. That being said I had 2.5 Hublot Big Bangs broken apart on my desk yesterday and besides the crowns have them put back together. :)
