dingle 57 Posted March 13, 2013 http://watchpart.co....ems-p-3643.html this may be of some help as well http://www.homagefor....php?f=42&t=788 there was a fella who was doing these over at homage forum, but I do not remember his name. I bought 3 or 4 from him.......perhaps one of the other members from there would know thanks ding. so basically i can use the eta stems for the cortebert 616, is that correct? cheers ooh....I will have to look mate. I am not sure. I did not realize you had the fancy, dancy movement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted March 13, 2013 From my research, I do not believe it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingle 57 Posted March 13, 2013 check my edited post mate. IT WILL NOT WORK!! sorry :( fro daevildog at homage forum: Modifying 6497 Stem to Fit a Cortebert 616??? Best Option? Can't modify 6497 stems, they do not have the think section just before the threads. Got confirm from "Clint Eastwood" at RG (a god of modding given the results of his latest breathtaking project) that reathreading and use of Loctite are really the only options. Tried rethreading stem, total train wreak even with attempt at heating stem before rethreading. Cortebert stems are 1.4mm. Even tried retapping crown... didn't work since metal is too thin at tube of crown. Found great solution....there is a great watchsmith in Chico, California who will rethread stems (annealing and hardening of stems after rethreading) for $25 a piece. A great price, got other quotes for $45/piece. He specializes in vintage and antique watches. The guy even has equipment to fabricate parts too. I have having him service/clean my Cortebert to... Turn around time for job is 4-6 wks. Here is the link: http://timepieceshoppe.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
