I got this watch from a member on Rgeek. I was told this is a t48 spring loaded crown. I have had issues setting this since I got it. It was very difficult to pull out from day one, when adjusting the time or date the crown would rub agains the crown guard. It never felt tight, a bit wobbly. Any way, today it broke off. What to do now? Do I need a new crown? I can install a new crown and remove the old stem, that isn't a problem. Is it possible to fix what I have? What is a better crown option?

If I get a new crown, it needs to be better than what I had. Does any crown fit like the gen? Notice how the top of the gen crown is in the middle of the bezel side, where the t48 ends below the bezel.

Alright, the crown height is an issue of the hole in the case being too low. With that clear, someone let me know if they have a comparable Titanium crown and stem laying around. Thanks
