Just purchased a new Miyota 6M02 for a Citizen replacement. Day and date both set correctly using the stem in the first click position. The day and date do not advance when rotating the hands through 24 hours using the stem in the second click position. I've never encountered this before in all my years of replacing movements. Is there some trick peculiar to this movement that I am missing?

It is a new movement and I do not want to tear it down to check that. I will probably return it and get another. I have just never seen this behavior in a new unit. I wonder if it was returned before and put back on the shelf. This is a common problem that surfaces as the calendar parts wear out. Very inexpensive (cheap) plastic.

Thanks for the thought.

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!

      Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made.

      I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
