I sent a watch off for service and I get the sense it wasnt tested when it was all put back together. I received it and went to set the time and I couldn't. I could pull out the crown but I'm realizing now... It was just dead but held in by the crown guard. Shit happens. What can ya do but try to fix it?
I emailed the guy who did the work to see about getting it back to him but if I cns fix. On my Own, why not?
Originally I thought it might need an adjudtment/more room so I took off the crown guard and the crown just fell right out. With thr stem still in the movement. Also I had some extra parts.
This was out of box.
I managed to get the stem out and want to epoxy it back together or replace it but tha
A close up of the parts. Also if you look you can see a tiny ring around the stem. Near the middle. That it loose and comes off.
Here is a close up of that little ring that fell off.
I want to put this all back together, I just want to put back everything in the right place. Did that spring come out of between the stem and the crown? Can I just stick it back there? Can I epoxy it?
And that ring, I was going to just press it down to where it sits not snugly but I cNy imagine my watch should have loose parts bouncing around so I want to put this in the appropriate place as well.
Help is appreciated. And a few other pics.
The movement.
The crown and stem sorta put back together (with no pressure)
Where I think that spring goes. And the crown on top of that.
All the parts.
Any help and guidance is very much appreciated.
