....or too short depending on the case if I may add! Just had this problem...here goes, use the last extender...another coupe of dollars invested! Heck, it is adding beautifully no wonder my wallet feels so light!

I'm restoring a Canal Street quartz Rol** 3035. (Kept as a souvenir in an FBI bust).

The movement had corrosion and didn't function, so I found an Elgin quartz with a similar case.

I swapped the movement but couldn't use the Rol** stem because it wouldn't fit right in the Elgin movement. The Elgin stem was smaller in diameter.

So now I'm looking for a stem that would fit the movement and the Rol** crown.

Is there a coupling that could mate the two stem diameters?

Sure, there is the extender that I mentioned earlier. They can be ordered to couple between 2 different diameters. There may be an alternative stem that fit your movement and that may work...probably not for the date just. The question is: will the stem and movement align with the new case? With the tube itself? If not, you will have to find another case! Just a thought...
