Broken stem (or came off)

I've removed back face plate

Can see part of stem and can't tell if it is broken off or if there is a threaded end to attach to the crown

To have local jeweler send to Timex would cost $45

Do it myself?

thx

You could send it to Timex yourself and they might fix it for free if it looks like it just unscrewed.

Broken Armani sign

Yes it can be fixed but may need a jeweller. You cannot take the glass face out on it own, you have to remove the watch back plate and then pull out the watch mechanism. (Once the back plate is off removing the mechanism is not difficult) You then have access to both the inside glass face and the watch face. If you can do this you will need to glue the Armani logo with something like super glue, but not applied directly to watch, too risky. If you have tweezers hold the Armani logo in them. Use a pin and dip it into a small blob of super glue, apply the pin to the back of the logo and then place it on the watch face as quickly as possible and align. Once aligned apply a little pressure with the tweezers on the logo to help adhere, about 5 seconds, leave to dry and then put watch back together. If this all seems to difficult a jeweller can do it in about ten minutes.

CROWN-STEM WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE

possibly you will need to clean around the threaded part of the case (pipe), when screwing the crown down push against the case and rotate gently back and forth until the crown catches the thread.

The crown unscrews and comes of is this normal Is there a spring inside?.

The crown is attached to the "stem" by screwing them together. The procedure, and this is not a good do it yourself project in most cases, is to remove the crown and the stem. Hold the stem in a "pin vise" and apply a threadlock to the threads and attach the crown. Install the crown and stem in the watch and check to see if everything still works(setting, time adjustment, etc.) Might pay to have a watchmaker do this, this is more technical than it seems.

I pulled on the crown and it came off the stem

Do not open the watch yet, as you do not know how to get the stem out.
Take an eyeglass and examine the crown. You will find the small hub in the centre of the crown. If the centre of this hub is hollow and you can see the thread in it- you will be able to screw it back on stem (all watch crowns are screwed on to stems, never pressed).
If the centre of that hub looks filled with metal, then the stem end is broke and you will need replace stem AND crown (the metal filling the hub is the broken end of stem).
In case if the crown still in tact, let me know by asking questions and I'll guide you through all the process HOW TO.

Rate me, please.

Broken stem off aromen gobletover 50yrs old maker bleirristall made in bavaria.germany 24% clear stem any chance of repair have broken pieces was my Mothers passed away meens the world to me please help...

Is the stem broken near the crown? Or do you think there is enough stem to take out of crown? If not you probibly will have to go to a watchmake (NOT a watch repairman) to make you the stem. If there is enough metal to take stem out of the crown you may be able to get someone to solder the stem back together. I do that reguarly with stems that are vintage, and I don't want have the time to remake the whole stem. Let me know. Good Luck!!!!

Need to get winder out from watch so as to remove watch face

Open the back of your watch. pull the stem ( winder) out and look for a small metal piece inside that moves as you do this. There should be a little dimple on the moving piece. The piece may be on then side next to the stem, or on the movement under the movement backing plate. Tale a tweezer or something like it and push in the dimple. DO NOT PUSH HARD!!! You want to try to pull the stem out while pushing down on the dimple( it's called the detent) as lightly as you can. If you push too hard you will mess up the whole stem assemly If you still have a problem please let me know..Good Luck!!

How do i remove crown?

Hi, on the back of the movement there should either be a screw or a dimple in line or next to the line of the stem. If a dimple, press in with a pin or similar sturdy tool and gently withdraw the stem. If a screw, only one turn should be enough to release the stem
