The pictures do not do the dial justice but I think it turned out pretty well.

Still putting together a tutorial. Now that I'm done I found that the steam wont lock back into place and I can't change the time. I'm pretty good at learning the hard way!

I love that watch.

 

At least you've got the hard part done. Fixing the stem problem shouldn't be too hard. Did you cut it a little too short?

What movement did you use? Does the stem hole line up to the tube?

The movement is a ETA 2836 2. The stem lined up but it does not lock into place and will not adujst the time. It still

runs fine but the winding is off also.

You may have screwed up the keyless works mate. Just a matter of resetting them.

Damn nice job BTW.

Thanks Col., I just ordered some tools from the shop to help with the repair. I think I need to get my eyes checked too.

Damn that some small little shit!
