I ruined my 111H ...T_T... need advice!

Just trying to install new T crown received the other day... it went smooth until the last step, reinstalling the crown... i took the crown stem off from the old rep crown and screwed it into T-crown... then i didnt fit with the movement becoz the stem is too long or sth... so i filed down the end of the stem (the other side of the crown when attached to the stem).. I thought it'd be ok to have such short stem end...

after i put the crown in the movement, I cant adjust the hands.... it only operates the winding mechanic.

I donno what to do now... maybe I already broke my watch... but are there any ways to bring back its life?

please suggest,

Thanks a lot in advance.

oh, really!! so i gotta file the screw side of the stem??

stupid me again -_-!

Yes, you file the threaded end that goes into the new crown. Again...you wouldn't be the first to have done this wrong. Don't worry about the threads not biting in the crown...just a bit at a time. Doing so will make you become a master of stem re-insertion.
