I am building a Seiko NH34 GMT Dive Watch. I installed all of the hands correctly, and everything seemed to be going well until it came time to remove the crown and put the movement in the case. I used tweezers to press down on the crown lever release while pulling out the crown, but it wouldn’t budge. I kept trying and eventually it broke. Has anyone successfully removed a crown stem from the movement? Or do I have to buy another movement and try again from scratch?
