I am struggling to find anyone in the UK that can perform the work needed to replace the stem. However I would be happy to risk doing it myself, the only issue I am having is getting the actual stem out given that it is broken! Any advice to coaxing a stem like this out?

Hi all,

I have had a TT Hublot watch for a while now and unfortunately I was a little too exuberant with the crown, sadly the crown has broken off, with what I can imagine is a piece of the stem still attached to both the watch and the broken crown. I would imagine the stem would need to be replaced.

I was hoping there is someone in the UK that is capable of fixing this for me and would be willing to do so. Here are some pics of the wreckage, hopefully this should give you an idea of what needs fixing.

Thanks

My small watch collection. It all started with the 1978 Rolex which was passed from my grandfather to my dad and down to me a few months ago.

From left to right:

Rep Hublot Big Bang 301 (44mm), Gen 1978 Rolex Oyster Air King, Invicta Automatic (no idea of model name), TW Steel Canteen TW-11 (50mm), TW Steel CEO 4004 (48mm).

Obviously the TW Steel watches are gen as they only retail for $500 & $900 respectively & the Invicta was about $100 (bargain!). The Rolex as per the receipt was $270 (bought on the 18th May 1978) so by today's inflation makes it about $1000, I did however have it valued recently at $3000 if I had is serviced and some restoration done to remove some scratches and a slightly damaged second hand. 

Thanks!
