silentflight 0 Posted February 17, 2016 I have an asian clone 2824, the stem WILL NOT stay in. I have gone as far as to reset the keyless with the stem inside. Everything is positioned perfectly and the stem still pulls right out... It winds, and will even go to date change right before pulling completely out. I am at a loss with this movement, should I just toss it and get another? Are there parts of the keyless that need replacement? Stem is brand new as well... when I push the stem release button, I can see the keyless work cover moving as I believe it should. It just wont hold the stem in... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,802 Posted February 17, 2016 Maybe try a different stem first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,802 Posted February 17, 2016 Failing that, try changing the setting lever, sounds like the pin that holds the stem in is worn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silentflight 0 Posted February 17, 2016 Sounds good man! Will try that. What site do you go through for ETA parts? Ofrei? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,802 Posted February 17, 2016 Cousinsuk, but I suppose it depends where you are in the world. Or eBay? Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silentflight 0 Posted March 30, 2016 So everything is completed. I have really learned a lot with this. My Franken SMP is now complete. Thanks everyone for your help! Really makes you appreciate your watch more after it was hand built yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silentflight 0 Posted March 30, 2016 Ill snap some photos tonight, or maybe tomorrow. I do still have a few issues w the watch; I couldnt source gen hands, so I used WSO hands... the lumes do not match. Not sure what to do about that. Also, I do not own a crystal press so the rep smpc crystal is still in the watch... thats another days project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
