Cannot set the time on 21J

Recommended Posts

processengr

I have a fairly new 21J 44mm Spectre Seamaster 300 that suddenly I cannot set the time on.

This watch does not have a date complication.

When I pull crown out to set, it just freewheels.

When I kept spinning crown counterclockwise, the stem began to unscrew.

I have removed the back, but dont see anything obvious wrong.

Watch winds smoothly, and sweeps/runs nicely, just cannot set the time!

 

Any advice what to try next?

Sounds like a keyless works issue but I'm no watchsmith!

 

I'm sure some of our resident tinkerers will be along shortly to give words of wisdom. ;)

Probably setting lever or setting lever spring got displaced. You can't see anything going on if you remove the back because the keyless in the 2813 is under the dial. I'd say bring it to a watchsmith, should be a very easy fix for him and a quick one also. I wouldn't suggest trying to repair it yourself because there is the risk of making a big mess which wouldn't be desirable on a new watch.
