ESA 9183 question....

[Watchtime]

Got this nice vintage quartz Belinda at a yard sale. I need to replace the crystal and the crown.

Anyone knows how to release the stem?

I gently pushed the little thing on the right of the arrow as it moves when pulling out the crown but it doesn't release the stem. I also turned the screw just above the stem about 1/2 a turn...no release.

Thanks.

I did one of these last year, details here.

As far as I can remember the post that you have arrowed is the correct part to push. I can't remember if the stem has to be in the setting position or not but just try it either way.

Tech sheet attached     the setting lever is 443 and the extension is the bit you pushed.

The stem release button is accessed through the hole that you have obscured with the tail of the red arrow...

thanks guys, I already had a techsheet but the release was not shown there.

@JohnD cheers, that was the one.

@Marc nice walkthrough
