Got it Desmond, thanks and another question

In Response To: Re: How to remove Crown Stem caliber 500 ()

: Keep hand on crown - maintaining a certain outard force - and
: depress the release, gradually applying more pressure until the
: stem detaches. The stem returns using the same technique.

: Good luck

: desmond

Ok, was able to get the stem changed out. Second question is how do I secure my new crown to the crown stem? Its a threaded stem. Should I use some Lock-tite? It doesn't seem that it will stay on when I turn the crown counter clockwise to set the time without something to secure it. Again your help is appreciated.
