Hey everyone!

So my friend wanted to set the time on his HBB v6 6,5 and suddenly he was holding the crown. Looks like it broke off.

How easy it is to fix that and where to source a new crown? Do we need a new stem also?

did you ever manage?

I need to do the same, only mine is just unscrewed but I need to access the stem to check it out and epoxy the crown back on 100%

Exact same thing happened to me. Managed to source a new crown and stem from Supermirrors.

If yours is just unscrewed, open up the caseback, find the stem release. If I remember, it slid out easily just from gravity. I might've used tiny tweezers to help it along.

you need a regular ETA 7750 steam to fix this since the watch has an eta clone inside.

Do you have any info where I can buy it and is it tempting to be with the crown?

Do you know which one will fit my watch and if I have to change the crown or if it can be unscrewed somehow?

Did the Crown break with a Big Bang!

Just take the crown to a watchmaker and have him remove the broken part and replace it with a new 7750 stem. Then open the case back and remove the old stem by pressing the little release button. Or have the watch maker do that for you.
