To be honest Robin for a first timer this is reasonably complicated. However, in stages it is possible. I am not familiar with the movement but to understand the problem have a look at marks video a

I would hope that you would have found the bit we thought was missing off the end of the stem.  In general a stem looks something like this:     If you compare that to yours it seemed to us that

I can see the bit you want out now so you may be ok.  gently lift the the metal just behind the green bit and use fine point tweezers to pull out the broken bit of shaft.  The loop of metal that finis

You have done exceedingly well to get to this point.

The broken part is the metal bit in the green plastic part. Pull it out of the plastic with either your tweeters or a small pair of pliers.

Now for the tricky bit! Once you have removed the part above, you are ready for re-assembly. Pay close attension to your photographs to ensure correct assembly and remember not to force anything. If you carefully reverse the procedure you have just done, you will be ready to fit a new stem. I must add that you may require the new stem to allow you to get correct alignment of the parts you have just removed.

If you take note of the make and model (calibre No.) of the movement, you should be able to purchase a new stem from https://www.cousinsuk.com/

 

Sounds awesome!! Thank you very much for your help. I'm pretty sure the re-assembly won't be an issue. If it will, I know where to ask... :-)

 

Again, thank you very much!

 

Hello again you need to be looking for a stem for a Hattori VD53B movemet

 

I would like to thank you as well. Thannnks!

And thanks again. I'm trying to call some stores here in Sweden, to see if I can buy this part anywhere... If I can't, I'm sure I have to order it on Ebay or Amazon.

There may be a bit of stem shortening to do but you have the old stem for comparison and you will have to remove the crown from the old stem and put it on the new one but this is all mechanical stuff.

 

Well done

 

Cheers,

Yea, I know.. I have been calling 6 watch stores in my city now, none of them takes the calls.... Oh my god.

 

I guess I have to visit them one-by-one then.. But I found a webshop in the UK which delivers to Sweden... So that would be my last option.

 

Will update on how it goes :)

I disassembled the watch again, and re-assembled it right after.. Still nothing happends when I insert the battery.

 

Is there any chance I have killed the battery? There's no sound at all when I insert the battery (no ticking).

Not being particularly familiar with the working of quartz watches, I've heard that pulling the stem out to "set" position can switch the battery power to the movement off. Is that generally true? I have 3 quartz models - 2 solar and one battery - and they all hack when the stem is pulled out.

Don't worry, when you inset the new stem it should switch the watch on.

 

You're 100% right, once again...

Yea, this is confirmed. Everything seems to be fine right now, lets see what happends when the stem is delivered to me.

So, I was visiting a few watch stores, some were closed and some didn't provide any spare parts (they had, but didn't sell unless you gave them the watch so they can repair it on their own).

 

Is this the stem I'm looking for? Can anyone confirm?

They ship to my country, so it will probably just take a few days to receive it.

 

Am I right?

Hey again.

 

I finally got the delivery today, with the new stem. I have inserted it to the watch, and selecting dates etc works good. However, there's a strange "click" sound when you change the time of the watch (only happends when you move the time forwards). Also, when the battery is inserted, the watch doesn't work. The stem is a bit too long, I have not cut it to the exact size yet, but I don't think that's the problem?

 

Check this video: (turn your volume to max to hear the click sound)

Can you see anything clicking/jumping when you turn the stem with the back of the watch open ? What does the movement feel like when you turn the crown : is it smooth or does it feel like something is catching ?

 

I have not tried to insert or move the stem when the cogs are visible. Should I try that? I have just tried to move it with the cog-cover in place.

Hi Robin, without having the watch close at hand it is very difficult to visualise what is happening and offer a solution. I hope some of the forum members may have worked on that calibre and be able to come up with detailed suggestions.

Hi Robin,

 

did you push the stem all the way in? With the stem out the watch is off. So, stem in all the way and battery in: if nothing else is broken it should work. Otherwise, swap the movement which I believe is about $10.

 

Hi Geo, we were posting at the same time! :) Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

      Well Gentlemen and Ladies I think we should thank @Mark for his posts putting our minds to rest and the explanation of running the site which is done very well. As a resource for watch repairs for new and old I would rate it second to none, the casual banter and dissemination of information  top notch, let us ll enjoy working on here and helping others. Any one can PM me as Iam sure others as well if it has to off the “record” and Marks blessing on that.   We appreciate that Mark is a busy man and totally appreciate what he does for us all.    So from me THANK YOU MARK. from an old timer.

      Dial Dots

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi it depends on the watch. The ones with the day date complications  dial dots are not really any good as you have difficulty getting the clearance between day date wheels a the dial.  Dial feet can be fitted no problem, there are several options, the cheapest is to mill out where the foot is and glue a new foot on. ( available fron Cousins UK ) mterialhouse . Or solder on a new foot, only problem with that is you need great care not to mark the dial. I use a DIY. Dial foot machine works no problem.

      If everything is inside them, then once restored and keeping time the oris could be worth 20 -30 each, I've paid a lot more Oris date pointers in the past. Bought this last week for a quid at a carboot sale. A cute little Smiths made in England alarm clock. The alarm didn’t function properly because the movement wasn't fastened in. But it runs perfectly now, the previous made a bit of a mess of the dial but i still love it. For the Smiths lovers here's  a picture of the inside before i case it up again. Still with it the original Jewellers box.

      The canon  pinion height must match the one you are removing, the physical size of the movement if it’s the same as the one removed should fit ok. The bogey hole is the height  to maintain clearance from the crystal

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      I’ve come across this sort of problem. The Bergeon universal winders aren’t always universal.    Options are: Track down a movement specific winder Hand wind it Buy a new mainspring - probably the best option in my view.    I’ve been thinking how to invent a winder that uses the actual barrel arbor. Haven’t done it yet…
