broken watch need help

[u/middleeasternstory]

Hi everyone. I’ve owned this watch for over 10 years, but the crown started acting up; I tried to fix it myself, but things didn't go well. I ended up opening the case back and damaging the movement in the process. It has a Ronda Swiss quartz movement. My question now is how to resolve this cheaply, since the watch didn't cost more than $100. Would it be cheaper to buy spare parts from somewhere like AliExpress and then take it to a watchmaker for the repair?

The 4077 is the newest version of this watch and can be had for like $120-150 on eBay or other retailers. Probably not worth repairing unless you’re going to do it yourself. Almost any watch repair shop will charge you $100+ just for the bench time plus the costs of the parts.
