Tissot Crown Problem

[s0ldi3r]

Hello guys,
All right with you?

I found the forum looking for help with a problem with the crown of a Tissot Chronograph.

I got my uncle's used watch. I changed the battery and was trying to adjust the time.

The crown has come off and I can't put it back on.

Did it break?

I thought about asking for your help, since where I live it is difficult to get specialized assistance.

Thanks a lot

Yes. It is a crew on crown, and the threaded portion is still screwed into the case tube. It should be possible to remove it holding it with small pliers and unscrewing. You can try pressing it back into the crown, but it will not hold unless something is done to increase friction. All that is work for a watch repairer. A replacent original  crown may be difficult to source, even for a Tissot official service center.

Thanks, jdm

I'll try in a oficial service first. 

Thank you
