I overhauled a ladies Rolex and noticed erratic performance so I stripped in down again and did fault finding. This is what I saw. I cannot understand how the watch was running erratically in the first place, as the lower jewel (the one in the plate) is cracked and the hole is too big. After stripping it down I did re-clean the main-plate (and parts) by hand with a fine natural fiber brush. Now I need to replace the jewel but have never done it. I do have a stacking set. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -

This happened to me several years ago when I first got my barrel closing tool. In my eagerness to try out my new tool, I closed the cap without the arbor. I don't quite remember how I opened it. I might have used compressed air to pop the cap off. I sometimes use compressed air to open those "sealed" Seiko barrels. -

Welcome @Boggie46. I would encourage you to take a little time to learn the terminology of watch parts, e.g., "winder rod" is the "stem." It will help us to help you. I am curious as to how you removed the center seconds wheel.
