[HELP] Winding problem ETA 6497-1

Recommended Posts

gianton

Today I couldn't wind my 202A, when I tried to wind it the crown keeps getting out and instead it changes the time.

Movement is a Swiss ETA 6497-1 18.800 bph.

 

What might be the problem?

the screw that holds the stem in place is loose. Remove the back, push the stem all the way in and tighten the screw.

 

If this does not help, it may be time for a new stem.

Unfortunately the screwdriver I have it's not small enough to fit the screw. I guess I have to give it to my local watchmaker.

 

Thanks for your help.

You should be able to pick up some jewellers screwdrivers for cheap from the local market! Always handy to have :)
