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.
Start by lying the watch, crystal side down, on a vinyl padded notebook. Also make sure you have it aligned properly with the stem. Hope this helps and you are as successful as I was with this tip. --Sandy
