I made a very quick video of changing the axle from a Rolex 1570. When I've got more time I'll make a better one with commentary to put on my YouTube channel. Here's the link to my cloud where you'll find pics and vids https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uo47kyawtE-nTPkc9gVr9Z_I261oX-PR?usp=sharing The trick is, when you have the axle in place in the rotor and it isn't a tight fit holding it in place you have to make sure when you are holding the rotor on the stump that the rotor isn't angled down in any direction, because the axle will rivet in at an angle which could really damage the rotor and ruin the axle. Also, you'll notice the original rivet had twice as many rivet marks; the generic punches only have six. Don't worry about that, they work fine. You have to hit the riveting stake sufficiently hard enough to rivet the axle in place, but not so hard you'll crack the top of the axle, which is easily done. This pic is a worn axle. Compare the pic to the next one of a new axle Here's the new axle This is the new axle rivetted in place. Notice only six rivet marks

Timegrapher before opening the watch dial up I couldn’t get good readings on the sideway positions I don’t see any gaskets -
Welcome to the forum The silver button on the right with the arrow pointing to it is the stem release. Parts will be dependant if the problem is with the crown or the case tube thread. It could be as simple as a build up of debris in the crown.
