Benrus alarm-crown fell out
I got my Benrus alarm watch yesterday. Everything worked and the alarm was glorious. So I set out to polish it up a bit todaynothing to drastic and when I pulled out the alarm stem to set it, it popped out and now I can't get it back in.In the picture below, it would be the top crown/stem. Kind of a bummer. Any secrets to resetting it?IMG_6656.jpgIMG_6652.jpg

Hello, and a question from a mechanical watch newbie (Nomos Club Datum)
I last bought a watch about eleven years ago. It's a nice enough quartz watch, but not something that would impress any watch person. Its bracelet finally started to fall apart this spring. Wondering about what to do about it, I figured maybe I'm entitled to a watch every decade or so. I walked into a jeweler's and asked to see what's available. There were a couple of watches there that I thought were rather nice. They were German, from Glash¨¹tte Original. The designs didn't immediately click, though I thought the numbers were a bit unnecessarily cute, for example and I felt the price was a bit extravagant too, so I walked out again, feeling pretty cheerful and liking the idea of German watches. I like German mechanical engineering and German design in general; it's matter of fact, functional, and well made. Besides which, everybody with any watch aspirations seems to have, or want, a Swiss watch.I made my way onto the Internet, wanting to find out if there were any other nice German

Help adjusting oyster bracelet
Hi everyone,Trying to sort out my best option to resize my YM oyster bracelet. Currently I have the clasp adjustment on the 3rd position and the watch feels good on my wrist. The band is slightly loose, where I can slip one finger under the band. It is very comfortable.With this configuration, the watch usually rides on the outside of my wrist off to the 12' side, not centered and the buckle is centered on the bottom of my wrist.If I center the watch on the top of my wrist, the buckle is offset to the 12' side, by about 1mm.I'd like the watch and bracelet to ride centered on my wrist, which needs a bracelet adjustment.Side view looks longer on the 6' side than 12'. I'm thinking about removing one link on the 6' side. Then I have two choices, (1) add the link to the 12' side and keep the buckle adjustment on the 2nd position, or (2) remove link and move buckle adjustment to the 1st position.The links look to be 1mm and the difference between the 1st and 2nd position is 1/2mm. I'm
