Hello Everyone

I broke the crown for my Invicta Venom 24257 and lost the crown. The photo here it is the way it currently how the stem looks. 

I am able to find the replacement crown on the ebay but wanted to know how to replace it. I am a novice, can I do it on my known or it is must to be sent to the repair shop.

Thanks in advance

It depends if when the crown broke off how much of the stem is left. With a shorter stem and the crown screwed on it will not engage the winding and hand setting wheels. However there are such things as stem extenders that can screw onto the original stem that help repairers to over come such a problem, providing enough stem is left to screw one onto, you will need to know the correct screw size. Here is a picture of the extensions I'm talking about.

Hi  It all depends on your skill level and understanding of watches. If you have the tools to get the back off and remove the stem . If not the safest way is the repair shop or as Old hippy advocates using stem extenders.  Inexperienced poking about could lead to a ruined watch or a large repair bill.

Thanks for both the replies, I just had one more question. I have taken off the stems of other watches which had crown still in place, AI pushed the button and pull of the stem with crown , but in this case how do I take the stem off

Can you remove the back and take a picture and we can help you. A shot in the dark, sometimes there is a tiny screw that needs to unscrewed a little to remove the whole stem, or it could be a push in piece you need to push in. By looking at the movement we can pin point the part for you.

Here is the pic, I pressed the arrow button and tried to pull the stem out through tweezers but it didnt work and I didnt try to put more pressure afraid that I might end up breaking something

Thanks to all, it worked, I pressed the button a little harder and use a thin nose plier from outside to pull it out

      Lathe motor advice

      By JseTay · Posted

      I sure appreciate your comment! I will look into one of those or maybe something similar. I of course will check your video to have a better idea.  by the way, that’s a beautiful lathe! Mine is a little peersless, but I just bought a Boley & Leinen that is on its way. That’s the one I am looking a motor for. It comes with a motor, but I want to replace it for  one that has a speed controller.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Indeed. I would not attempt one. Here is my messy Sherline setup

      Etachron regulation system

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.

      Cap jewel with what looks like a circular engraving around the edge

      These still seem stupid expensive for a bottle, but still £100 cheaper than than the Moebius ones. Anyone have any experience of these: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/epilame-fixodrop-special-bottle-horotec
