Help me to remove this stem, please.  I cannot find where the release lever is.

Thanks!!

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 :D

Thanks, my friend. I did not succeed.

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.

Problem solved! The following picture shows the stem releasing screw. After about 2 turns ccw, I can pull out the stem.
