Watch Michael Kors MK2521 woman's watch 


Ok so I did a newbie mistake and used the wrong die in my case back press. The die was too large which allowed the crown to rest on the edge when I pressed down on the press it snapped the case back on as well as snapping the stem right at the base of the crown.

The quartz movement is a Miyota 9T33 and found that the stem is a Miyota / CITIZEN Watch Stem 65-495. What I can't seem to find is a Michael Kors crown. I know I could put on a different gold tone crown, but would like to put a real Michael Kors crown back on.

 

Maybe you all have an idea on how to get the broken threaded piece out of the crown..I personally don't see that being possible as there is nothing to grab on to.

The diameter is 4.48 MM, the total depth is 5.45mm (if that makes a difference), The outer barrel (silver part) is 1.83MM. The inner barrel (where the stem screws into) is 1.27MM


Thanks in advance

Micro screw extractor.  Drill a hole in the stem to the correct size for the extractor.  The extractor has a left hand thread that grips in the hole.  Google it. 

I'm having a hard time finding anything that is a smaller diameter than 1.2MM, I believe the stem is like .9MM

Thanks a lot...I'll change my profile to reflect that I am in Sarasota, Florida USA.

I'll search for some videos on how to use that ...I am having  a hard time envisioning how a watch movement is secured in that thing let alone a crown.

I saw a video where someone removed the broken stem from the crown by soaking it in a mixture of water and alum powder.  It seemed to work.  Where can I find a stem for a Michael Kors MK-5725 watch?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, alum powder does work to dissolve a stem but it's best kept warm to speed up the process.

You need to remove the back from the watch and see what movement it has.

There should be markings but if you can post photo along with
where in the world you are to point you in the right direction.

Edit

A photo of the crown & broken stem would also help to see if it does need dissolving.

Two things with an using alum solution to dissolve the stem. 1 ( obvious ) check that the crown has no steel components ie .  The crown itself ( possibly ) the threaded crown tube ( probably) the crown washer ( almost certainly ). I'm also under the assumption that stainless steel stems are unaffected by alum ?

If trying the extraction method, help that situation by softening any adhesive between the broken stem and the crown tube. Some radiated heat  ( not direct flame ) an adhesive softener, acetone.

Are the crown components SS ? SS is usually non magnetic  having nickle as an additional element besides chromium.

To source a new stem, you need to identify the movement in the watch. 

If I recall correctly, the MK-5725 uses a Hattori SII VD53B movement or a close relative thereof. 

The movement will have enough information on it to verify what model it is. 

Hope that helps,

Mark

      Hi guys. @VWatchie Those images are self hosted (not hosted on this server). Do a look at the page source and you will see this. I’m afraid, I can’t have control or backup images not hosted on this server. ( They seem to be served from here: https://qehvsw.bn.files.1drv.com/) This server is backed up fully every night and the database is backed up and versioned every hour, all stored off site on Amazon S1 platform. It’s hard for us to lose data. Ive got a huge overhead of space on this particular server the site is served from so no worries there 🙂 Sorry all for lack of response so far, I have been extremely busy and am embarrassed to say that priorities had to be set in place for a while.  Be assured that i’ve got constant monitoring and alerts should the site be in an extended problematic state (down etc) and work on these issues if they arise.

      Web sites are cheap. Message board are easy. Hosting both is less than 100 usd a year and small advertising would cover most of that.  In the discord group we did some 15 min poc and threw up a couple of different message boards on a domain i host.   The real value is the data / information / hive mind While I'm a rank amateur in watch repair the information and assistance on this board is invaluable. The members on here are friendly, entertaining and a wealth of knowledge This is what needs to be preserved  --Jeff

      HWGIKE#57 Valex FEF 190 15 jewels Swiss lever full service and repair This one was waiting for a balance staff replacement in my cabinet parts and case cleaned up with a new balance staff and a 4th wheel as the original 4th wheel had a broken pivot for the off center second hand. I never attempted a balance staff replacement before however I received a Bergeon Molfres (i was hunting it for about 2 years) and with the help of it I managed to remove the old staff and riveted the new one in. It also received a new MS, crystal and the hole for the MS arbor was also tightened. With the new MS now it has an acceptable performance meaning that the amplitude goes up to 280 fully wound, has an acceptable beat error and I have the two nice lines but only dial up, dial down is not as nice and I could not figure out as why. I have the two lines but the amplitude is dropping to around 230 and the lines are a bit hairy. Both dial up and dial down the lines just go up and down without seemingly any pattern. I cleaned the movement two times, and then a 3rd time pegged out the main plate and train bridge holes but made no change. Both the HS collet and the roller table was too lose on the new staff... I did not count how many times I took the balance cock off to sort out the HS collet, the roller table and the beat error, somebody before me also shortened the HS by pushing it out a bit and it seems every time somebody is messing with the end of the HS the protruding bit is most of the time twisted bent etc. This one was probably one of the most challenging repair and service. I might take the new MS out and clean it lubricate it as I just pushed the new one in to the barrel from the retaining ring. Plus started to re-read the theory of the escapement and how to analyse the graph on the timing machine: Greiner Chronografic Record manual. I am also thinking to put the watch on a 24 hour long run with the eTimer SW it once helped me to figure out what was wrong with a watch. There is an interesting part of the Greiner record manual talking about the pallets and the end shake of the balance and pallet staff. Maybe this is my issue? Who could that possibly identify? After a few years now I am still without a clue how could watchmakers make parts I can only see with my microscope or how could/can they carry out complicated services impossible to do.. real magic..... .... ..... before I sent this post while the pics were uploading I had an idea, i was browsing the possible outcomes on the timing machine I had one for magnetism..... so I demagnetized the movement and it is not hairy now.... two really nice lines 0.2 ms beat error still a bit wavy, but a lot lot better..... argh....
