It appears to be a screw down crown. If it is there is a lot going on inside the crown to allow it to function, and with a bit of wear, it may start to slacking off a bit. Here's a schematic that illustrates the complexity involved.

If it's not a screw down, unscrew the stem, put some Loctite on it and tighten it up again.

It's definitely a screw-in.  

 

I'll be better off replacing both pieces or else I'll break it trying to separate them and have to order it anyway.

 

Thanks for your input.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
