To release the stem you loosen the lower one of the two screws by the stem.
I attache a service manual to the 72 but unfortunately with the wrong complication but in the 60's the tech sheets didn't always be the best.  ;) 
If you need more help it's better to continue in an other thread.

    steping back from a complicated mvmt. repair;  i opened  a 1950's west clock wrist watch.  German made case and US mvmt..  it has a very unique stem set lever.  one of the 4 scews holding the back plate holds a lever attached to the stem set pin.  vin.
