Leslie 62 Posted August 21, 2019 Help me to remove this stem, please. I cannot find where the release lever is. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikosaldente 630 Posted August 21, 2019 Following the stem into the movement there's a Black Hole. Gently press and remove the stem. Most Quartz Movements release the stem when the Crown is in "Winding" Position and not in Time Setting Position! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The movement looks like ETA 805.112, and if so, what you said is right. But this mvmt of mine seems to be a fake ETA, and the 1st black hole is not the correct position for releasing the stem. Maybe I need to remove the silver-color plate to reveal the lever. I’ll let you know, after my tryouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 62 Posted August 21, 2019 Problem solved! The following picture shows the stem releasing screw. After about 2 turns ccw, I can pull out the stem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
