so I got a Chinese rep from a exchange student as a gift about 5 ago. I don't wear it much but when I did somehow the stem snapped off in the crown where as its impossible to remount the crown. so I will retap the case for a TC Rolex crown and tube. I have all the tools and parts. but I have tried like 3 different times over the last year with no success to release the crown. here are some pics of the work but I already know it's a cheap Chinese no name movement. I can't find it on ofrei or anywhere else. please take a look if anyone has seen something like this and know how to get that stem released. thanks guys!!! years

Does the watch have those complications shown on Ofrei's site?

got it out lol stupid plastic push on covers up a few holes. it looked like a pin or flat metal round thing. but it was plastic and popped up with fingernails and revealed the release for crown. i popped out. retapped the case for TC crown/tube and gave it to a guy from school for 40€. feels great to fix it. but i forgot to snap pics :(
