I thought replacing the crown and stem was such a challenging job until I had watched your tutorial. You've made it so simple! I would definitely give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
I had been trolling eBay for 2 years to find a proper C crown for my Caravelle pilot world time watch. Dimensions are 5.6 x 3.3 and tap 9 threads. I paid $21 and when it arrived I found that the threads were stripped out to the point where a tap 9 stem would fit to the bottom without engaging. An old-time watchmaker would have tapped it out to something like 11 and used a converting stem extension. What I did was to cut the new stem so that it reached bottom and held the crown in its proper place against the bezel. I mixed up some fresh JB weld and half filled the threads the crown with a needle. Then slipped it on the bezel containing the movement and stem to set up overnight. The next day I removed the stem and crown to inspect it and added just a touch more with the needle and let that set up overnight out of the watch. After assembly, it has worked flawlessly. I can wind and also pull it out to set the time. I know it's not a proper fix, but I wasn't sending that crown back either.
Precise and to the point. Great camera resolution. I can't fix mine since i don't have tools and replacement parts but at least now I understand what was broken on mine. Thx very much.
Sometimes it's better to take it to a pro since even if you have the parts it's very easy to damage them or something else if you don't do it just right !
Another great video Mark. I have just fixed a broken stem myself. As per your advice, I used a stem extender. I will update the post on the blog with photos soon.
Great video, many thanks. I believe I am a step closer to repairing my watch myself. It's nothing fancy but the exact same model that broke in the exact same place also just out of warranty two years ago was deemed unrepairable and I had to replace it. Now, I think I was taken for a ride and this time, I am going to repair it myself.
How nice having a true professional with a relaxed voice giving laymen an insight to your world including tips gained by experience. Very enjoyable Thank You.
Another excellent tutorial. Being that I just paid $6 for a stem-extension for a waterproof setup, I want to be careful not to "burn" it. This should help me avoid. Thanks WRC! Note: I have a set of bicycle cable-cutters that look just like the cutters that Mark uses in the video. It does seem like they'll dull the cutting edges using them on stems, it does look like it makes a nice cut. I think mine were made by Spin Doctor/Performance tool company, FWIW. Oh, and I noticed that Mark supported the exposed end of the stem (from pin-vise). Had I have seen this video, I may have saved breaking a stem by not doing that. It doens't take a lot of force to have one bend near the leverage point at the pin-vise tip. That extra support, closer to the end, is advisable. Cheers.
Mark you fixed a lovely watch for me about 10 yrs ago ,I have a problem now ,seiko 5 rectangle ,movement no 6104 ,I cannot see how I can get the winding stem out ,the button is out the way .
Great tutorial Mark. Although you don't mention or show it in the video, would you agree it's good practice to clean the whole stem of debris after filing/ de-burring to avoid introducing contaminants into the watch case?
What does a normal stem look like once you remove it I can pull my stem out and get my date to change but when I pull it out further it just free wheels with no hand movement so I'm curious if my stem is worn out which I have nothing to compare to your help would be greatly appreciated thank you
I have a friends Rolex 1030 movement that I can seem to get the stem out. It was heavily rusted. First tried the typical unscrewing of the detent screw as normal to pull out the stem, but no good. Removed the dial and stem setting lever and springs and tried to pry it out that side. Still no good. I was hoping to use a stem extender but this is one of those watches that has screw down crown so it needs the shock absorber spring on the stem. The screw that held the detent in place is also one that does not slip out the top plate or bottom. I think it has a shoulder or something to keep it in place, you know how some detent screws get lost. I took it apart except for pulling out the stem and put it in the ultrasonic with some rust solution. It cleaned it up and appers ok but still will not pull out. Is the stem retained some other way?
Thank you very much for this tutorial..may I ask whether all the stems are made the same for all watches. I have two watches that have this issue and now I know what to do with them...what do you do if part of the stem is still in the crown..can that be removed?...by the way I am from Singapore..
The crown on my Royal oak came loose. While setting the time the proper way it stopped moving the hands. I can wind it to tighten it so I can continue to set the time. Just the crown can be removed when this happens. Do you think a toothpick and thread lock will do the trick? The insurance to ship it back to Audemars alone is insane.
Thanks for the tutorial! There's a broken watch I'm thinking of buying on ebay where the winding stem is missing/broken. I'm not sure what movement it is and it's not a big name brand. Are all winding stems the same size and I can get any replacement? Or should I stay away from that watch without knowing the movement?
Sir.do you have a tutorial about,how to repair a winder that don't stay in lock position to set the time.Is a Rolex 5513 that I have since 1983. Your videos are the best,but I can not find anything related in how to fix a winder on a hold Rolex.
Hi, i have a blancpain villeret 40mm watch in stainless steel 2 years old (2020) watch and i noticed that it is stiff when i try to wind it. It has 72 hours power reserve. Example: When i wind it, it is tight.. I have to pull out the crown then i have to push it back in, in order for it to be buttery smooth when i wind it. It keeps excellent time BUT it is just stiff/tight if i wind it without pulling out the crown and pushing it back in first.. feels like resistance.. Any idea on what could it be? I dont have warranty. My jlc reverso is so smooth , i dont have to pull out crown and push back in for it to be smooth wind. Which type of silicone/oil for the crown gasket do you recommend?
Does anyone have any idea on how to determine which stem to buy for a watch? There's one page from esslinger that is supposed to help with this, but all it does is lead to a page with literally hundreds of different stems with a three letter prefix (ESA, ETA, HAM) and a 3 digit number. It is literally chinese to me and impossible to determine without having some sort of reference sheet or something.
Hi there! Firstly , I am not a watch expert. I got a new watch as a gift and it had not battery on it, the battery was in the box and I tried putting it on my own. I somehow opened the wTch but, when I put in the battery , there was this small thing near the battery hole, I think it is called a spring or a contact, I'm not sure. The one that touches the battery terminals. That part broke and I don't know what to do. This part is really small and is there was way to fix it back to the watch? Thank you!
I’ve been having a problem with breaking the stem on my Nixon watches (only my Nixon watches though) when I press the back back on. Can you tell me how I can NOT do that? Ha. Thanks for this video, btw! It’ll help me replace the stems I’ve broken. Now I just need to get the back on without snapping it again 😬
Hello, I’ve been trying to research how to find the right size crown for my Seiko 1NOO 1F10 watch. I’m desperate for your help!! Could you please help me to figure it out? Thank you!
Mark, I have a 1960 IWC automatic watch has loose crown. It doesn't engage the stem in reverse direction (can only advance time). I can also feel slight resistance as I advance the time. Is this something I should take it to IWC dealer or any watch repair shop?
Another great video, Mark. Thanks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that new cutter one that is made for cutting bicycle cables? In other words, the local bike shop probably sells them. And they do make nice flat cuts on steel bicycle cables. Cheers.
good to see this class of repairing of watch i am from Kashmir, now i want learn this art of engineering would you sir allow me to do this job sir please reply to me
Love watching you channel. Some advice please if possible. I have a vintage smiths 15 jewel watch which needs a replacement crown wheel as the orig is totally smooth! Stupidly I bought a box selection from ebay which all have wrong size threads. The stems supplied also seem to be different. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement crown wheel? Kind regards
Hey Mark, good video (as usual) but I was wondering if you had done any videos on crown TUBE replacements? Searching doesn't seem to be turning anything up. Anyway, thanks...even if you can't help.
You should add that the stems are specific to the mouvements. In your case that is Myota (Citizen) 2035. It is one of the cheapest and most reliable quartz movement ever. Produced in gigantic quantities and therefore sold for about € 2,50.
I ordered a watch online and when I screw down the crown all the way when fully wound the watch stops after around 15 minutes or so. When I leave the crown unscrewed and in the day set position the watch works fine and the power reserve last 38 or so hours. Is this probably because the crown stem is to long?
Hellou, do you have an email where I can send you some pictures of a mechanical movements that I have but got no idea which one is the correct screw to put back a stem. Thank you
i'm a watch repair noob here, and i'm in need of help. recently i bought a cheap quartz watch online (for the case, i'm making a project watch with either a repaired waltham movement (sr.# is 17321841) or jacques roulet movement (no indication of what kind of movement it is nor any serial number), both are pocketwatch movements but i'd like to put my brain to work and see if it'll work). the only problem is, i can't exactly access the stem to release it (it's in a cheap (but surprisingly good) quartz movement from sunon, AD989), since it's covered by a metal plate and some plastic. since i can't access it without basically obliterating the movement, is there a way i can unscrew the crown to pull the stem out from inside? thanks!
+Pieman6711 an update, i got frustrated and snapped the stem off :( now just to service a smaller waltham (SR.#3548820), clean the face off, put a new post (?) onto the seconds subdial, and put new hands on.
Hi Mark! Nice video as usual! :) I am wondering if there is an adaptor to be able to fit a 1.0mm threaded stem to a 0,9mm crown? I am trying to restore an old lemania chronograph and I have the stem fitted for the movement and a signed crown... Do you know where I can find such adapter? Thank you for your videos, looking forward to part 3 of the breitling chronograph how to.
Watch Repair Channel Perfect! Thank you Mark! I had been looking for stem extensions on Ebay, but could only find 1:1 or "wrong" adapters. Cousins did the trick! :)
I really appreciate your videos they are brilliant. But the most important this in your instruction is that you just appeared with a new stem. I’ve been looking everywhere trying to find out how you find a suitable stem. Without buying hundreds and working through them. Also how do you know what thread is in the crown. I’ve bought a hundred crowns and not one had the correct thread that suited the stem. It’s very frustrating. People charge £17 for one crown, others charge £25 for a selection. Yet they still don’t screw on because the threads don’t match. It would be so wonderful to be educated in how to make money selling watch parts that are totally useless because they don’t fit and there’s nothing you can do about it. As an engineer we used BA threads for small precision instruments watch makers seem to invent there own sizes.
I think he said it was a ***** number miyota movement and from that you can look up what stem goes with it, and matching crown. Hopefully your movement has info on it, good luck !
+Ryan Pagoria I just did a search on google and found some for my watch, very reasonably priced for 5 pieces, but you need to know the shaft size and thread.
when i touch even very softly on my crown it makes my watch stop ticking what could it be and how could i fix it by the way it is a rolex replica i need help ASAP before i loose patience of all ways reading the wrong time and take it apart myself and probably either wast my money or break it
Thanks so much for these these videos. By watching these videos I've been able to repair two inexpensive watches that would not have been worth taking to a jeweler. I do have one question. Does the new crown contain an o-ring, or does an o-ring need to be fitted? Thanks
No jewels in that particular quartz movement. My Seiko Prestige has 16 jewels and two other Seiko quartz movements of mine have 6 jewels. It is the quality of the movement which determines how many jewels are used, similar as in mechanical watches.
