Here is some more crown info from a thread in January 2019. https://rwg.cc/topic/193353-rolex-crown-free-wheeling-is-it-repairable/ Timelord: "Have a new 7.0mm crown which does nothing upon turning it in either direction ! Sometimes it just moves the hands a bit but then keeps slipping!" amc: Check the spring before taking it apart...does it have enough tension to push the setting works from time set position to winding position before it contacts the case tube threads (assuming the stem is cut to the correct length)? Does it always snap back into the extended position when 'push in' pressure is released? To check the clutch, remove the crown and stem from the watch and hold the stem in soft jaw pliers or a pin vise and see if the crown slips internally while turning the crown both ways with a little bit of 'pull apart' tension applied to the stem and crown. It should not slip when 'pulled apart' and turn freely when compressed. The crown clutch, tube and all will unscrew from the crown cap on 7mm crowns with the steel or gold 'bottle caps' crimped over a base metal inner frame. The last one I had apart was the type of crown made with a skirt for the O ring on the outside of the case tube so it was a later model. I use a 'ww' type chuck in an old 8mm 'watchmaker lathe' to grip the clutch tube and hold the lathe still by the drive pulley while unscrewing the cap from the tube. A pin vise will work if you can get it tight enough to keep it from slipping and scratching the outside of the tube. Once it is apart the trouble will be easy to spot...maybe a weak spring, maybe a bad center tube where the stem screws in etc. Use Loctite when putting it back together, taking care not to get any inside the clutch. Also use a tiny bit of grease on the internal clutch parts...KT22 etc. I have not tried to remove a tube and clutch assembly from a later 'mono block' type 7mm crown.

Nanuq- I think we were just sent the wrong pairing for your watch- We got a 24-530 when we needed the 24-600.
