The alum powder arrived and it's performed remarkably well. I was a little sceptical but I've successfully managed to 'dissolve' the stuck screw thread and I've got some spare parts lined up.

I'm quite looking forward to trying to get it back together in one piece. I'm feeling that its going to be slightly more complicated than taking it apart...

Hi  Glad the Alum did the job just take the assembly slow and steady do not rush it  all the best.

This thread is already too long so lots of post to read for someone who didn't follow it from the start.

Posting a new thread for reassembly in watch repair help and advice subforum brings in more response. 

You are right that crystal is a goner. 

I soak and wash the case in solutiin of soap water, any old tooth brush will do.

Beautiful watch. will work with you in every step of reassembly, be fun to see before and after pix.
