Nixon problems

[Misshollypocket]

I actually have a couple problems I could use some help with. I’ll start with the more serious one I guess. I don’t have any trouble getting the back off my watches or changing the battery, but every time I use my tool to snap the back back on, something happens to the crown pin. It just lets go and comes out. I thought it was a strange occurrence the first time but I tried another one this week and got the same results. I’ve done this same thing on hundreds of other watches of different types and brands but never ran into this problem before. Can someone please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?

Also, a couple of my watches don’t seem to be able to adjust to my teeny tiny wrist size. In my Monarch, the majority of the links don’t have holes to remove the pins. Is there any other way to remove a couple links. Any advice would be appreciated immensely!!!

With the back off, is the stem secure? Can you pull it out to setting mode, then push it back in a couple of times, and it stays in the watch? Then I can only imagine the caseback is somehow depressing the release when you press it on. Maybe you can post some photos of the movement and the inside of the caseback.
