Sinowatch 0 Posted November 26, 2014 My Explorer1 keeps stopping, however when I leave the crown out (not screwed in) the watch will run properly. So it is the crown that caused it to stopped. Is the crown stem too long? How do I find out what is actually wrong and how to fix it? Mp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted November 26, 2014 Possibly the stem is a little too long, or the crown is not screwed onto the stem fully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash64 17 Posted November 27, 2014 Possibly the stem is a little too long, or the crown is not screwed onto the stem fully. I call a Bingo on that one. Had a similar problem with one of my watches. Stem too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinowatch 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Bash64, did you just shorten the stem? I screwed the crown in about 60% leaving some thread exposed and it is running fine! I guess screwing it in all the way caused it to stop so either stem too long or the stem is not screwed into the crown all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash64 17 Posted November 27, 2014 Yup. It is a little bit of a process to remove it. Sometimes you need to apply a little heat or solvent (they often glue it). When you shorten, try a dremel, and take off much less than you think till it works well. Use some locktite whe you put it back together. Whatever you do, do not over shorten it.
