Pulling the stem Harley Ronda


Recommended Posts

Look closely near the stem and you may see a little dot on a part or an arrow pointing at something to press down which will release the stem.

You may need to put the stem in the setting position for it to be visible.

I tried many times using the eye loop but was unable to see any dot or arrow!!

Remove the ring around the movement so you may see the watch.:lol:

Seriously,   I got a suspecious feeling you just might find a lever or something on the side near the stem. If nothing found, I unscrew the crown and slide the movement out.

No need to apologize, and thank for the advice!
Will remove the plastic ring and see if I can find a lever
But didn’t get what you mean by unscrewing the crown and remove the movement!

Just grab the stem with  long- nose pliers and unscrew the crown off of the stem. This is prefered approach if you really don,t need to remove the stem and just want to get the movement out.

Thanks I’ll do that and see

Hi    This might be of some use   ronda tech sheet,  as I recall you pull out the stem to set position 

       and you see a small lever poking out press this down and remove stem.

I pulled the crown but couldn’t see the stem.
I think it’s better to take the watch to a Jeweller to avoid damaging the movement
Thank you all for the help

Sorry,  I know this is way to late but it might be useful for future reference for someone else. 

In almost all of the pictures above the release pin is clearly visible but I've attached a photo of one of my own watches with a circle around it. 

Be sure the stem is not pulled out into gear (hands or date) push the release pin gently down with anything small enough to fit the hole while holding the crown, you can feel the release point, and pull it out.

When reinserting, be sure to push the release pin as well, I'm not sure if there are other stems out there, but mine isn't tapered so you can't just push it in on its own

    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
