WatchDog21 3,345 Posted July 4, 2018 I am looking yet I do not find! Usually if you watch for what is moving when you pull the stem in and out you can eventually find where the release is at. I am not having any luck this time. My best guess was a screw next to the stem. I gave it two turns but nothing budges. Anybody know where the release is at? slightly better pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted July 4, 2018 I've done some research, the correspondance of this movement in the ETA datasheet is : 802.101 (according to this link : http://www.almax47.com/Files/120774/17647369948774.pdf) This gave the following documentation : http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=81306757247642083313 And the following paragraph : The handsetting stem can be forced out. Extraction force = 25 N (+10/-10) The handsetting stem is normally removed by unscrewing the screw for the stem spring. If the spring of the stem cannot be accessed (monocoque case), pull the crown to position 2 and turn slightly to remove the stem. When introducing the handsetting stem, turn it slightly in order not to damage the toothing of the setting wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WatchDog21 3,345 Posted July 4, 2018 Thank you @Glaude! It seemed to be a combination of both as described in that paragraph. First pull out to position 2 and turn slightly; it released but was not fully removed. Then 2 turns of the screw and it cam right out Now I can address the obvious problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
