How do you safely remove the stem after fitting hands? I’m talking about the push type setting lever you need to push to release the stem. Some dials can be intricate, glossy finish, lume dots etc. and placing it in the movement holder can be quite risky and cause damage. -

Off topic, but that just brought back an old memory! My mother once told me about a minor incident as a child (born 1917, so 1920s, at a guess). She used to use "Fish glue" for a hobby - an apparently smelly glue that had to be heated to be usable - and to heat it gently, she had to stand the tin in the kettle. One day someone filled the kettle without seeing the glue tin.. The tea tasted of fish for some time afterwards! -

As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery. Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through. -

Hello, i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best. thanks in advance.
