I believe it is man made and somehow it escaped from a laboratory, which creates germ warfare. The city that it escaped, which is Wuhan as we all know is in China. So you know who I blame.

Yep

So easy to be misunderstood here!. I should have written clearly: I don't think that allowing the tube crowding linked above was good at all. Now I read that the UK is in lockdown also, better late than never.

that it is is generally benign to youth is something that can't be denied

UK statistics released today show that 5% of the patients in critical care (on ventilators or in high dependency units) are under 30 years old. Not a big percentage, but hugely significant to anyone who finds themselves in that 5%.

average age of the deceased is above 75 yrs

The same statistics show that the average age of those in critical care is 62 years old.

Granted these are figures for people in critical care, not fatalities, but that is still a place that nobody wants to go.

Thankfully we seem to have finally put the right measures in place. I just hope that it's not too little too late.

Quite  curiously  half the Iranian government  came down  with it. Say what you want this is a really  bad virus, however  or wherever  it emerged.

    • Hi Tigermuffins, Replacement parts for Armani watches are, in my experience, rather difficult to find. This is because not a lot is known of the movements and parts that have been used and there is very little information available. I repaired one myself for practice and spent a LOT of time finding a replacement wheel. That particular watch used a Chinese movement, that I could only identify after doing a lot of research. I think your best bet would be to find a second hand watch of the same model, or one of the models that were released around the same time, and use the stem + crown form that one. I found attached article of its release and probably one of the other tank models would also work. Maybe one of the other members has more info on the movement used for this model, then you could try to find a replacement stem and a (generic) crown.  Good luck on your first project!
    • The Citizen movement is 3ADJ. One reason I have some hope that the crown/stem didn't snap is that the end looks clean rather than broken. I've got 2.3 mm of threaded "stem" coming from the cap. Let me see if I can take a picture with sufficient detail to show it.
    • I expect the stem on the Citizen will have snapped but if you're luck they'll be enough protruding from the crown to unscrew it. Do you know what movement's in the Citizen and what all the movements look like for general condition.
    • There are specific dies that will mostly fit this crystal shape, but I just find it easier doing them by hand. Occasionally the odd one can be difficult, there is a workaround, and it isn't by force . Same Andy, generally it's possible to get 2 1/2  sides in before a little pushing is required. Things usually tighten up when the crystal is skewed too much, typically on smaller ones, I tend to try keeping them as flat as possible to the case lip Have a measure up to see how well it does actually fit. Often the old ones were designed to be trimmed to size ( maybe not this one as it looks like a square version of a high dome, but still may trim down a little ) Manufacturers probably thinking it's easy to take off, impossible to put anything on. I think would need something central of the crystal inside, while pushing the corners outside. 
    • To anyone who might be able to help. I am coming up on almost 20 years since I bought an Emporio Armani Meccanico AR 4205 watch. Sadly the crown and main stem is now missing due to an unforeseen accident. I went to my local store, they sent it in for repairs, but returned it due to being a model that has gone out of date. The watch itself is not very expensive, but it holds a great sentimental value to me. So I figure it would be a nice small project to get it fixed on my own. But since this is my first dive into wristwatch repairs, could anyone point me to somewhere on the web where such parts could be bought? Or if there are parts from a different model that would work on this? Any and all assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated :)
