Hi , I’m a newbie so if this is just plain easy, please excuse. I bought a watch replica this summer (I can hear the sighs but I’ve bought some very respectable and reliable ones in the past)..... The large second hand fell out (!!) so I’ve bought a watch repair kit and started to try and take the movement and face out in order to refit the second hand. There are not enough vids on YouTube so I’ve had to work out where to locate the stem release etc on this particular movement and work out each step in turn. Now I have freed the movement and it is loose, the push button mechanisms and stem guide tube are holding it in, thus preventing removal to gain access to the loose second hand in front of the face. Can anyone help re push button removal/stem guide please? I don’t want to wreck the buttons now I have got this far! If people know of the best guys to follow on watch repair, workings of different types of movement and theory of their design please also advise. That would be really useful and informative. Many thanks watchKeith
