Here is a pic: It sticks out about 1mm from the case tube (thanks again for the terminology!). Remember as well that the crown not only allows the stem to slide in, but the case tube also is fully inserted into the crown as well. I eyeballed it and it seems to me that the stem goes into the crown right up until the crown goes convex so I don't think it could go in any farter which would lead me to believe it wasn't snapped off (I hope!). -
Or maybe even the wrong stem for the case. I would use Loctite, and I guess as Hector suggests red would be better then blue. It's really made for this job and it gives you more time to work and clean up than CA does - so you don't end up gluing the whole assembly to your own thumb because a lot of glue is going to squeeze out and immediately dry onto the stem. Red Loctite should hold it very firmly but you can wipe it away before it becomes a problem. -
Does the stem sit proud of the case as it needs to protrude to be fixed back in the crown, if not then it's broken. -

I've learnt something new, didn't know the stems were friction fitted. Love this forum. -

As @mbwatch said, Timex crowns are friction fitted. It probably came loose from age, corrosion and/or abuse. I would use red Loctite and leave it for 24hrs to reach full strength.
