Thanks, I've read that nitromors won't affect steel, is that true, if I leave the centre wheel and gathering pallet in place? -
Very cool! I don't think I will ever be a true watchmaker as I can't even afford the little wooden stand that Bergeon sells for the lathe 🙂 . Oh well, I can dream, can't I? -
Okay... thanks... I wanted to check before I did something I might regret. It appears to be metal, but who knows.

I'd say good job so far as I don't see any finger prints on this beautiful dial and it be shame if you end up having to remove it to access the keyless, you see sometimes the stem doesn't want to engage and lock onto the keyless mech (even if you had observed the proper proceedure for pulling the stem out ) Surely you know, the set lever screw is only to be loosened about one to one and half turns, as it might release the set lever if you loosen it more. Push on the set lever screw as you insert the new stem in and ( turn the stem a little as you are inserting the stem) then tighten the screw, next pull the stem outwards to the SET TIME POSITION , you will by then know if the stem has engaged and locked onto the keyless or not. If it hasn't, pull the stem outwards before loosening the little screw, this will set/ leave the keyless in The SET TIME position, then loosen the screw and pull the stem out to retry inserting the stem. Hope I am clear to understand and this helps. Rgds
