Hello

 

Who did you buy it off?

 

How much did you pay?

 

Post some pictures so we can see it!

 

It sounds like the crown or stem has come out - not impossible to fix but we'd need to see to be certain

1. first you need to upload photos onto flikr/photobucket etc.

2. then copy the IMG code (its usually listed under the thumbnail in your flikr/photobucket viewer.)

3. Hit reply at the bottom of the thread.

4. EITHER a.) copy the IMG code (looks like:

OR b.) When the reply window comes up, you'll see a list of icons at the top of the text input window. The 'Landscape' icon to the left of the smiley is the one you want.

Just click on it and then copy the direct URL to the image in that box that appears and press ok. It will automatically add the tags to the photo and embed it.

 

Hope that helps.

Try and reinsert the stem...it may just click right back in

if not remove the caseback and gently press the stem release button while reinserting the stem.

Thanks, Dingle!

 

You might be able to source a new stem from the shop?

The problem is his old stem is still in the watch.

Best option would be to try and have it fixed locally and cheaply

If not I would through it away...no point in sending a $29 rep back

Or take it apart and use it as a learning opportunity :)

Ha is it really that broke?

[Member X 91]

I'm no technical person! but if the others are saying you still have the stem stuck in the watch, you might be able to get the back off, release the stem that's stuck, then add it to the other bit to get the length so you can look for another one

Throw it in the trash can and don't buy shit anymore.

Based on where it broke off he won't be able to do it without taking the movement apart. Where are you located?
