Got given a Seiko 4205 and the stem is broken. Am I right in saying that all I need to do is buy a replacement crown and stem and pop out the old one out by pressing this button?
...So on closer inspection, the stem has snapped right at the crown. How on earth do I extract the remaining stem from the crown with nothing to grab? Can a replacement be sourced?
Can you see any of the stem? Enough to grab with needle nose pliers?
If you can't, then with extra care drop the movement out into your hand, by angling the case, but this risks damage if you can't do it effectively. If you get the movement out with the stem then use pliers and a movement holder.
