stem do not get back normally on the movement...

[parisianshut 0]

i received my wonderful AP diver two weeks ago and decided to clean the glass on the inside that had some black dust on it.

 

i removed the stem in position 1 : winding

i did that because of my precedent work on the hangzou movement (see thread HERE) . everybody told me so toavoid the keyless problem.

Everything went flawlessly but when i decided to put the stem back in the movement : it got back in but no winding, no hour change, no date change.

 

i removed the stem a few times and tried again: everytime i had a different configuration :

 

- date change only, impossible to change to position 1 or 3

- winding only, impossible to move to position 2 or 3.

- Nothing nothing.

 

do i have to dismantle the entire movement to get this thing to work ? i am kind of lazy right now to get back in the heart of the watch.

is this the good tuto :

I am not really sure what is going on. My only guess is that you pushed the release a little too hard??

 

Those tutorials are great though. They are the same ones I used when I did my first keyless. I have never

 

taken apart my diver, but I believe there are extra pieces between the dial and the movement.

I had exactly the same issue with my V3.5. Never had this before.

It sounds like you might have a keyless issue, so thats where you should start. To reset it, you only have to disassemble a portion of the top half of the movement, check for any damage an reassemble. But first, you would need to de-case the movement, remove the dial hands and date wheel. The tutorials you linked will help. There are other good ones, too. PM me if you want more info.

 

FYI: I always push the stem release with the crown in the winding position, with a screwdriver >= 1mm.

Just fixed it! I followed the tutorial and everything went well!

 

 

I'm happy to have it back!

 

Conclusion: never push the stem release button too far!!
