should work never thought to ask if you was pushing down on the dimple when inserting the stem

That's okay, I never put two and two together to get that I needed to push in something.
Now if I could only set the time....

::EDIT::
The stem is now seated and the watch winds perfectly, but when I pull it out to set the time, nothing happens. If I turn the crown clockwise, it doesn't budge (and I'm not trying to force it), anti-clockwise, it just spins freely with the slight feeling of it trying to 'catch' when turned.
i think someone will need to look at the dial side to see the interplay of all the parts. It was worth a shot. Sorry it didn't pan out!

I'm afraid so, thanks for at least pointing me in the right direction to get the crown inserted properly!
