hey guys

With a lot of help from you guys i have fixed the mido 1117 pc1 and it runs lovely .Now just 1 or 2 more hurdles to jump.

As you can see in the pic the male outer winding stem fits nicely in to the inner female winding stem. 

Now all i need to know is how do i go about getting it to do the same through the case??? Is it possible?

Even if i buy the 2 stems new i will still have the same problem as far as i can see.

And has anyone refitted the glass and seals to this watch or movement before.

cheers

I set the inner( female) stem with its slot vertical, set the males stem vertical too so as to fit into female slot, as you lower the movement over it.

Another common approach is to go by the feel. set the inner vertical insert the outer into the tube, try to feel where the two mate, push in. ( sorry how else you guys say this)

this watch requires the procedure quoted above. Otherwise and I will explain below why bad things will occur.

the wording is correct here but only if it's the right type designed for this.

classically most of the time they can be pushed together and pulled apart. But always best to check before ripping the crown out as undesirable things can occur if it's the right type. I recognize the case number it took almost a year to fix this problem at work.  one of the other watchmakers at work pulled the crown out like he perceived he was supposed to do. Then when reassembling and issues and attempted to close the female part of the stem to make things tighter and it broke.

the problem with a watch like this the stem and the crown are considered one components that  cannot be purchased a more. This required waiting until eBay had a case with crown to purchase. This was relatively simple versus getting the female stem. They come in a variety of different lengths because this watch when in different case styles. Then whoever it was doing the ordering wasn't paying attention they rejected our payment and nobody noticed. But eventually variety of stems showed up and the watch finally went away.

The good news is I have pictures

      Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.

      @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.

      Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ

      As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time.
