MM problem -- crown pulled off or broke off?

[iamFLIP]

Someone sent me this picture showing an issue with their Minute Machine watch. He was setting the date and time and crown got separated from the watch. Is it possible to pull off the crown or did it brake off? Fixable?

Thanks for your responses.

Didn't something like this happen to @jdd32?

I would assume the watch needs taken apart to be fixed since the crown doesn't just screw in.

Mine had to go back to Oakley. No charge to fix. Just paid for a new battery

I have not taken mine apart but maybe @zwc0442 can help?

If it's like the crown on a tb1 it was threaded onto the stem. Like a 2 part stem and crown. It may have just come unthreaded if so. I was able to thread the crown back onto the stem on a tb1 enough to where I could then remove the stem from the movement then hold the stem and tighten the crown back up. But if can't get the crown to thread back onto the stem I have no clue how to even get the stem out of the movement.

Super glue it back in and and sell it on eBay
