removing the stem of this Seiko 7N32 movement. Can't seem to locate the release point (if any). New to the site, would appreciate any advice. Thanks! John (from Massachusetts)9a8c930934ded47fda1f48f315d74109.jpg

I have attached an image that should be helpful. Usually the setting lever has a little indent to give you a clue as to where you're supposed to push. It's not always visible you have to pull the stem in and out sometimes to see it so sometimes it's when you're in sometimes it's out so that's why pulling the stem in it out and looking around the stem you'll usually see it. Then I'm attaching the service manual.

Thank you! I never would have figured that out. The setting lever indent disappears when the stem is out and is only accessible when the stem is in. Very counterintuitive. Felt like a thorn being removed when the stem slid out very easily. Thanks again!

      @oldhippy, hasn't been on since the 14th of April, I messaged him nine days ago, no reply.  I  hope he's on an around the world trip with endless booze and supermodels.   joking apart, I  hope he's alright. Does anyone know anything?

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Some of the older American companies did at least claim to manufacture them so reliably that any one of their tailstocks should perfectly center any one of their headstocks. But it would take probably someone like nickelsilver to verify that in a big enough collection.

      You also have another potential issue with head and tail stocks, in my research it would seem that for the American style lathes the head and tail stocks were bored as a pair. So a matched pair is good a “pair “ made up from two different lathes cause some headaches. The Swiss Geneva style lathes are much lighter but were apparently made to fit any lathe. I have seen mention of being able to shim the tailstock as well to true up. indexing is again not so straightforward for a watchmaker lathe, at least not as I have found so far. Often a lathe will come with basic indexing which is limited to 60 positions. The full index plates do come up at times for eywatering prices. It is very possible to do that electronically. As well as what @SwissSeiko maybe able to point you to have a look here. https://imakewatches.com/projects/CNCIndexDriver.html   https://imakewatches.com/projects/MillingAttachment.html   Tom

      On a watch repair discussion group that you know that we love to see naked watches out of the case you show us a box? I think a book on watchmakers lathes should be helpful.   The watchmakers' lathe, its use and abuse; a story of the lathe in its various forms, past and present, its construction and proper uses by     Goodrich, Ward L https://archive.org/details/watchmakerslathe00good

      Got it. So a WW lathe will have that graduated drive pulley for different speeds and similar setup for the bed and tailstock, but they won't be fully compatible with one another in terms of parts. Thanks! The picture helps a lot.
