My H Factory steelfish has just snapped the crown. Unfortunately it has snapped stem right where it enters the crown so would be impossible to remove stem from crown. Would anyone have a link to where I could get a replacement crown, (ali express etc) as I cant seem to find one when searching ali express. Or would my TD be the best option?

Steelfish broken crown

If I understand correctly, the stem snapped and its tip is stuck in the crown.
So the first thing you need to find out is what movement your watch has
(for example a2836 or 2826-2) to source a new stem. And then of course,
if really nothing helps to remove the tip of the stem from the crown, you
also need a new crown.
Wether those parts are easily obtainable from a TD or not or wether maybe
generic replacements can be sourced from Ali etc I don't know, sorry.
In any case, I could imagine that it is possible to find a replacement stem,
so it would be a good thing if you manage to salvage the crown. Then you're
good to go.
Maybe you find a rep-friendly watchmaker in your area who can help.

You have a stem! That is good news
To me it looks as if a bit of the stem is still outside the crown, and you might be able to hold it with small pliers and unscrew the crown from the tip of the stem.
Unfortunately it is flush with it
