I had the same problem and tried everything. Here was my solution. Use a double-sided 2" rubber mallet. (Below is a photo of a similiar mallet.) Be sure to use caution while pressing with force. There is always the danger of cracking the crystal, however, my solution worked perfectly for me. I hope it does for you, too. Keep in mind that some watch backs screw on with a special tool, but if you snapped yours off, it should snap back on.
I cant replace to lid - sandyjd.jpgStart by lying the watch, crystal side down, on a vinyl padded notebook. Also make sure you have it aligned properly with the stem.

  1. Place one of the rubber mallet heads over the watch back.
  2. With all your force, push down on the other end of the mallet's head.
  3. Voila, you should hear a slight pop and the back will again be secure on the watch.
Hope this helps and you are as successful as I was with this tip.

Stainless steel band won't snap into my watch

Stainless steel bracelet ends (so called wings) must be curved flush to the watch case.
Another way is to use curved spring lugs (pins).
