Just like to pick the brains of others who do watch repairs about attaching crowns to the stems. I was just curious as to what method others are using on the threads when installing a new crown or assembling a whole new crown and stem assembly. I have never seen anything specific mentioned in any Seiko assembly or repair manuals. I am currently just using super glue. I have not had any come loose yet. I have also tried just gripping the stem carefully in a pair on needle nose pliers and twisting the stem by hand firmly with nothing on the stem and that has also seem to work also. I think the metal in the crown threads is a bit soft and by giving it a good twist it distorts the threads in the crown thus making it hard for the crown to unwind. I am curious as to what other people do when then need to attach a crown. I'm always looking for new or better ideas.
