Hi Mark,

I exchanged a few emails with "The Naked Watchmaker" and at the end they asked if they could add watchrepairtalk.com to their link collection:

"Great thank you Lui, please tell me where you are based and we can add you to our links page. 

Thanks 

Daniela 

The Naked Watchmaker

www.thenakedwatchmaker.com"

Would you be happy about it?

Best regards,

Lui

I have just watched the restoration of watch tools. Very interesting, I wouldn't mind having the equipment the guy has at his hands to restore all those tools must cost thousands.

The Nekkid Watchmaker's name is Joe.

He is routinely visited by his yound son whom he routinely refers to as: "trouble".

He does have quite a bit of equipment and he seems quite happy doing serious case repair work.

I like the sound of his voice (which reminds me of a young George Harrison - some guy from and old band out of the UK).

      Timex Merlin Crown will not Stay on Stem

      By arvanlaar · Posted

      Sorry I don't have a pic of the other side and this stem is ridiculously difficult to get out so I don't want to do it again 😄 The other end is what goes into the movement itself. It has a squared end if I recall plus some small collars along the stem.    This is wonderfully helpful thank you! So obviously the grooves still work as I can wind it so that is good. If this was your watch, and it was more of a practice piece rather than a sentimental piece, would you loctite or CA it? I know loctite is removable but i've never used it in an application where force is being applied away from the threads (groves in this case) versus stopping a nut etc from moving on a bolt or threaded rod. In my layman common sense, I would lean towards an application of CA but in the world of fine watch repair, perhaps this is the last resort rather than first choice? One other question I just realized if I was to glue the stem back, I would image that the stem would but pushed all the back into the crown and not be floating with space left in the hole with the stem enters the crown right? I ask because the crown sits flush with the case so any miss regarding that would have consequences.

      They can wind it but I expect the stem isn't engaging with the keyless works to set it.

      Thanks Nucejoe, you've encouraged me to think it may, after all, be worthwhile trying to find out more about the watch & availability of parts so I've contacted the WEW Co. via it's website.

      If when you wind the watch the train wheels spin as @caseback mentioned check the escape wheel pallet engagement and also the engagement of the other train wheels, you may have one upside down . Did it work ok before you worked on it.
