out of curiosity today when I went to work I asked about the problem. The first response was it sounds like the watch was made for a metal strap. so in which case as already discovered the spring boreholes are too far back. I do believe on the website they did have metal straps. -

microscopic acetylene torch might be an option. Although the preferred plan would be the quote down below. out of curiosity looking in the Elgin parts book you could purchase the components separately or purchase them assembled. Then they all look like they just push on exactly is quoted down below although if yours fell off you might have to tighten the hole a little I would try first and see if it just pushes on. I suppose conceivably you could use a little Loctite. But it really should just friction on as that's the way it originally came.

Here's a clearer view, I think it's a 505 not 550. -
what about this other thing it looks interesting? the problem with vintage watches is finding anything at all that resembles technical. It does look like the 505 is based on the 501 although the 505 parts list hard to tell but it looks like the part that I marked in the above image still looks interesting and unfortunately we don't have a text description of what that part is Longines_Longines 501.pdf Longines_Longines 505.pdf
