How the Crown Broke
In Response To: Re: Snap Back from its Bath ()

: Did your crown stem break in the crown? If it did then it can be
: fixed....let me know.

Mikhail,

The stem did not break. What happened is this. The crown is made of several pieces. The inner pieces which are the female screw which the male stem screws into separated from the outer crown. I have all of the pieces the watchmaker does not thing they can be put together again into a waterproof crown.
