Hey All, I picked up a old Timex Merlin watch at an auction. It is this exact model: https://heritage1854.com/1975/marlin-27671 The crown on the stem does not stay on the stem when it is pulled outwards so I cannot adjust the date or time. When the crown is pushed all the way on, I can wind it to power the movement. I found a repair manual for this movement that you can see here: https://heritage1854.com/m25 It says nothing about the crown being able to be separated from the stem. Whether is was designed that way, I could not tell you. My question is, how should I repair this? I am attaching images of both the crown and where the stem comes out of the case so you can have a look. As you can see, the stem slides into the middle hole of the crown while the collar from the case (I am not sure what this is called sorry!) slips into the ringed gap around where the stem fits. The stem is not threaded (are stems ever threaded?) so I know it doesn't fit like that. Any suggest and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you post photos showing the crystal from the front and a side view of the bezel.

Hey All, I am new to the world of watch repairs. I have been watching a number of videos online and have picked up some time pieces at a couple of local auctions/thrift stores to work on and learn the basics. Looking forward to chatting with you all 🙂

I have acquired a Citizen 5510-S61515 with a badly scratched/gouged crystal. I plan to replace the crystal, but am unsure whether this requires bezel removal or simply pressing out. I'd rather not risk mangling the bezel if it's not necessary or not designed to be removed. Does anyone here have experience or insight they can share on this topic? Thanks!
